Making up for Weeks of Sunshine and Dry Weather
The past couple days around Roanoke have been a bit dreary, and even gloomy. Rain off and on and clouds covering the sky. (I’ve been spoiled by a lot of the sunshine this summer.)

All in all, over the past couple weeks I think we’ve made up for the several weeks before which led many to worry about potential drought conditions.
Fall is coming, both slowly and surely. However, this weekend is supposed to be really nice with highs in the upper 80s, perhaps the last, warmest days of the year.
Afterwards, the change of the helm from Summer to Autumn is not too far away. I love the summertime, but I’m ready for it to cool off a little bit.
How about you?

Fall is my favorite Roanoke season. I love the way the mountains look and everyday is a new painting. Been loving sleeping with the windows open too, except for the other night when a skunk sprayed my neighbor’s dog which she had unknowingly let into the house before realizing that smell was Sadie. Poor thing! Poor neighbor!
