The first couple of specks are showing up on radar off to my west, so it probably isn't too long before the rain sets in. It won't be as cold tonight as last night and in fact there could even be some severe thunderstorms tomorrow afternoon. I'm one of the nutcases who prefers snow over rain, but even I have to admit that it is too early to be wishing for snow.

Jay, does Linda think you're going to take a scenic tour?
You scoundrel, you!
Evening All,
Carl! You said the magic word! Apple pie is wonderful and all, but I am a HUGE fan of fresh cider. Back when I lived in those parts, my Uncle, Aunt, Cousin and myself would make an annual trip up to North Freedom, WI for the Fall Color Train. On the way, we would stop at an orchard (Sky-Hi maybe?). I always delighted in picking up a gallon of their cider!
Jay: I'm thinking your plans involve what most members of this forum would be doing in that corner of the world. If that's true, I think you're in for a spectacular day. I've never been there personally, but my cuz has, and the pictures he brought back were magnificent! Have fun!

Lots of rain on the way from after midnight tonight through tomorrow evening. Could be up to 2 inches by the time it is all said and done. And then more on the way for Saturday.
Presuming I'm not washed away by all the rain, I'll be back in tomrrow afternoon.

I tried to talk daughter in taking granddaughters out to our favorite apple farm (after I had them on the road I'd work in the trip to Rochelle!), but no go, at this tender age.
But you can bribe me with apples like you bribe my sister with chocolate! Golden Delicious are the preferred variety, when they're fresh. Also appreciate the fresh, non-preserved cider. We will instead visit a nearby farm stand (of sorts--also has a petting zoo) with the girls of all ages.
Tree, you could entice me to eat a little, if you're cooking the pies! (Any chance of doing one of apple pie's distant cousins, mincemeat?)
My bug informed me that it was 43 degrees locally when I left this morning. The warmer lake provided a spectacular cloud bank off to the east (and I guess some wet weather in southwestern Michigan). Broke out a long-sleeved shirt for the first time in months. Tonight's supposed to be just about as cold as last night--then it gets warmer and wetter.
It's nice out now, and we're going to do some local errands and dining out on foot tonight. And we'll capture that butterfly (Sis knows the one of which I speak).

I will take a plate of whatever I can reach for lunch.
And hold on to your chairs everyone - I would also like an apple turnover, please and thank you.
It's fall - we need to start thinking about apples.
Well, it is comfortably cool this week, but my money is on being in the high 70's up to mid-80's before October ends.
Update on no new neighbors next door. Don't pack quite yet people! He bought the place in late July and has been over there every day - fussing with it. They got new cupboards for the kitchen and a rearrangement. New indoor paint, new insulation for the attic, (that helps us, too), new gutters, new baseboards, new flooring in bathroom, overhauling the basement to make it back to a 2 bedroom with a finished basement, pumped up sidewalks so I don't sprain my ankle, fall on the driver and kill him, dirt around the foundation, trees trimmed and cut down - and I haven't seen a for rent sign yet. I think I am in love! (until he raises our rent!)
Still has some landscaping to do outside, but what he has done looks mighty nice. It is like having a neighbor since he is there every nite until about 9 pm. He just doesn't sleep with us........
As soon as he slows down a bit, I might tell him he should go trainwatching and quit working so hard....?
Rain on its way tonite - mostly tomorrow - so BC - put the top up on your bike!
AND - I am down to 1.5 in-baskets of work to clean out! Moving right along....right after this nap......@

Gee, Joe, I thought I caught Matt on a bad day (he didn't even eat all of his fries!). He was a sweetheart, perfectly willing to hold my hand when we went walking. But yes, I'd hate to see what he's like on a better day--he could have powered the guy's laptop even on that day!
(Actually, Jay was pretty much the same type of sweetheart that Matt was. Charlie wanted to do things by himself, though--typical younger brother.)
Actually, Ray's been asking for a kid--I hope he gets her! Talk about insanity!

Actually Sister isn't twisted--you saw her this morning, all stretched out across the aisle/page.
She is, in fact, one of the sanest, zaniest people I know.
Sis, the package came in the mail this afternoon--now I can live again!
And if you were looking for some macho guy, I'm glad I didn't knock--you would have been disappointed!
