The weather has taken a turn for the warmer this week. Today was a perfect fall day, a light breeze, a few clouds, and warm. It is really looking like fall now, and that makes me half happy half sad.

Wednesday we are heading off to Arkansas for Thanksgiving and should be back Friday or so. The long range forecast looks promising. I know we need rain badly, but I hope it stays dry until we return. I am not sure when the last real rain was, but it must be at least a month. I suppose I could go look it up somewhere, but I am feeling a bit lazy tonight.

When I get back this weekend I am going to whack down the okra and tomatoes and maybe see about digging the plots up once more. I am currently lacking enthusiasm for the task. If I knew we would be here long term, I might look into buying a wee cultivator.

Carol's working laptop went funky last week and so we went out and bought a cheap new one that has windows 8 on it. I mostly find the new os just fine to work with though I do wish the left corner to middle swipe on the trackpad would not bring up the charm bar. grrr I found a fix, but that would require adding an item to the reg files and I find I am reluctant to do so on such a new machine. I think that I will like the new os just fine once I acclimate to the differences.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!
