SNOWBLIND

Well, not really, but we've had some pretty nasty weather lately. Lot's of wind and rain and cold. The wind blew open the front door of St. Paul's and damaged the latch. So, although we are "always open," we need to fix the door so that it at least closes. Need to make sure we keep the rain and critters out of the church. Being out here, "critters" can mean anything from chipmunks (or is it "chipmonks") to bear I suppose.

It's late August, and we've got weather that reminds you of early October. The rain is good. This area has been in a drought for way too long to complain about that. I did notice, though, that we've got snow in the hills. Yes, snow. I visited out here once many years ago and a resident told me that the only month they have never recorded snowfall was July. Must be true, because here we are in August and the snow is falling not too far from town.
