The good part of this time of year is the fruit harvest from the garden.<\/p>\n

\"This<\/a>

This is all the chipmunks and ground squirrels left us this year. We need to do something more drastic with protecting the fruit plants next year. Dang nab it.\u00a0 Grumble grumble.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’ve frozen all of this to deal with later this winter.\u00a0 Gooseberries, pie cherries, josta berries, red and black raspberries.\u00a0 There are apples left on both trees at the moment.\u00a0 Pretty sure the chipmunks won’t bother them, but they were like a ravening horde this year, so not counting on it.<\/p>\n

The bad news is fires.<\/p>\n

\"Try<\/a>

Try as I might, I couldn’t get the camera to take a picture of the blood red sun as it set a couple of days ago.<\/p><\/div>\n

The sun produces so much light that even filtered through the thick layer of smoke which blankets the mountains, it still showed as yellow in the camera lens.\u00a0 This picture was a couple of nights ago.\u00a0 Last night the smoke was so thick we never even saw the sun go down!!<\/p>\n

So unless things change and improve a lot, we’re going to miss the solar eclipse.\u00a0 We’ll know it’s happening because it will get dark but we won’t see a thing.<\/p>\n

We might get thunderstorms tonight; sure hope not but we can’t see if there are actual clouds on the horizon, and we certainly won’t know if there is lightning unless it’s on top of our heads.\u00a0 The fire danger is way on the wrong end of the scale for thunderstorms.<\/p>\n

Dan mentioned today that in a month we’re going to be worrying about overnight frosts.\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 That’s kind of hard to fathom.<\/p>\n
