The sun rose red this morning - not the sky, the sun. That means there's distant smoke in the air. There's no hint of the smell of smoke, and we can't find any information that there's a fire in the South Cariboo, so perhaps it's just drifting in from far away. I hope so.
Jen left for the coast this morning. The house seems empty without her.
Autumn is definitely in the air these days. There's a cool crispness to the morning air, and a few of the aspens and willows are turning yellow. The Canada geese are flocking, and we've had several light overnight frosts already. The days remain warm and sunny. It's a glorious time of year; my favourite, I think.
Mike is getting an early start with hand-digging under the power cables in the post holes for the second porch this morning. With southern exposure, it gets quite warm by 9 a.m.
My teaching contract is over next Friday, which means I'll have more time at home, and more time to get chores done around the property. And that's a very good thing.

Apparently the smoke is drifting up from Washington state.
Very thick smoke throughout the Fraser Valley today too. I rode from home out to Hope, and didn't see a single mountain all the way!
