I was going to title this, "A break in the weather," and it sort of is because it had been very hot here for a couple of weeks. However, a couple of weeks isn't a very long time and we have had a pretty nice summer otherwise, even though it's been really dry for a couple of months now.
It has been raining for two days straight. What a nice relief from the heat. What a nice relief from the dust that rises from the road. What a nice relief for the forest that was getting too dry for comfort. We remember the fire that made us evacuate the village a year ago. As a matter of fact we had an anniversary party the other night and watched slides of that fire. Now everything is saturated with rain and there is not much danger of that happening this year.
The rain has brought much cooler weather. The thermometer on the outside wall of the dining hall read 54 degrees at 8 o'clock last night. It probably got down in the 40's, but I won't know that until they post the temperatures later this morning. And... there was new snow on the top of Dumbell Mountain last night. It was a real welcomed sight. We get so excited about snow around here.
The village is smaller now because many of the summer staff people are leaving....however the guests are not, so that means more work for the staff that is still here. But, it's still good! The change in the weather feels good. It is refreshing and exciting and feels like fall is right around the corner. And it is!
