Cool weather has forced a hiatus from summer shorts.

To quote Colonel Walter E. Kurtz (ne Marlon Brando) in the Vietnam movie "Apocalypse Now"....."The horror....."

For two days in a row I have found myself in the morning putting on long pants. My summer shorts are mournfully greeting me in my bureau drawer, waiting for a glimpse of Indian Summer. But alas, over the last couple of days it was not meant to be.

This morning when I left the owners quarters at around 11:30 AM, the temperature outside the inn was a crisp 54 degrees. The day is just gorgeous with crisp fall air and beautiful full sunshine. A great day for leaf peeping in the mountains.
