Warm Fall

Here on Kodiak it's been a VERY warm fall.  Last weekend I hiked up Pyramid with Stuey and the dogs and he wore shorts and a short-sleaved shirt.  Before we left - thinking that in late October it should be cold - I tried to convince him otherwise, but looking back I think he knew better than me what to expect.  The hillsides are all brown with no snow anywhere to be seen.  In my garden I still have flowering nasturtiums, and the grass is getting so long I may need to mow the lawn - again.  Patrick
