Oh you brazen huzzy you! I hope you beat that wood stove good. I want your cool weather. I’m sitting here sleeveless in shorts and dewy as the devil!!

[ChocChipCookie]

Oh, it’s raining, and the snow is coming down the mountain.

As in an avalanche? Sorry, but being an AZ desert rat I can't imagine that snow coming down a mountain in one's general direction is a good thing. :O)

Our cool weather may be nice, but it gives way to Winter!
LOL
Pretty time of year up here, though!

LOL! Anchorage is bounded on the east by mountains and the west by water. As I drive home, due east, I watch the mountains.....2 days ago there was only powdered sugar on the tops. Today, after rain overnight down here in the flats of town, I can see snow further down.....winter is coming.
