Ashame they've been displaced due to the fire. They are handsome critters.

Rain? Well, at least the mountains are totally blanketed from 3500 feet to their 9000 plus peaks, nothing but a solid grey wall. Front and back patios are wet, not enough for actual puddles, but respectably washed. Cool this morning as well, still in the low 60s F -- no birds out, they've all found places of shelter. What a change, was 85 yesterday, 94 the day before, may get up to 75 this afternoon, I guess this is finally Fall?

We are getting snow flurries this morning. Grass is sort of white. Cold! This whole past week has been cold.

Enjoy your cool, rainy weather while you can. Hope you get a little more rain today to actually get puddles to play in.

Reminds me of our ferry boat ride thru the reeds along the shore near Charleston, SC a couple years ago. Of course, there were no buildings or piers except the one we got on and off at. This would make a nice soothing relaxation tape, too.

So full of sound. *Sigh* And now we are in the 6th mass extinction..... Our members' generations have seen the extinction of so many species. What will the world look like, sound like for the generations following? (I don't mean to get into a discussion about it, here. Just feeling the weight of the world at this moment.)

Heading up to a convenient hilltop-ridge to view the Jupiter-Saturn conjunction tonight, clear skies and fairly warm weather, high today 71 F. Just hoping Fan's bonfire does not obscure the planets and stars this evening...

Are you camping out up there? We will watch from Desi's pool deck.

We are going to attempt to see it before we light the fire. Your view should be safe.

Stormy, nah, have not actually been camping for about a decade, did try out new tent in the backyard about 5 years ago. We will just be going up on a four hundred foot elevation a couple of miles west of us to get clear view and lesser Xmas lights, stay about an hour I suppose.
Fan, oh, good to know the Great Blaze of Missouri will not affect our viewing. I'll have to check online to see if the Druidic Folk of England are planning anything at Stone Henge tonight. They do get carried away with fires over there, poor Guy Fawkes...

Well, we have very heavy never ending cloud coverage up here, so we probably won't see anything.

Too bad about the clouds, Stormy. It was fun to get out for something special, and The Cordonnes Ridge had about 50 other cars parked in its margins. The two planets themselves were not all that bright, must be rather far from us on earth this year, but they were still plainly visible as a brighter spot with a fainter one a bit up and to the right. With binoculars they were quite exciting.
