This was an incredibly short season for me.. about 3-4 months as nothing was growing until practically June and we're slated to have frost tonight. So I'll have to live vicariously through everyone else's pictures for the winter months! The mountains here have a fresh layer of snow, the highest continuous road in the continental US has been shut down due to snow & ice, the elk are in rut, the leaves are changing, the geese are flying in all directions (they fly every which way, not just south, dumb birds), the spiders are invading the house.. yup, it's definitely autumn!
I don' t have a good picture of Octoberfest, so I'm linking Zuzu's magnificent picture.
