John and I walked an entirely different route this morning and covered over three miles. We walked down by the Red Bridge and along the Los Moras. The morning was overcast with a little mist and slightly cooler temps than yesterday. By this afternoon the sun came out, the humidity dropped, and it was very pleasant for sitting out on the patio.

After breakfast John stopped over at Metcalf's to talk with Jan and find out what little jobs she wanted done--he will probably get to them next week. Our golf cart batteries are still not fully charged, so John went to talk with Wallace to see if he had any ideas about how to get them charged. He told John he needs to charge each of them for six to eight hours apiece. It's going to take a couple of days to get them charged up enough to run the golf cart.

This evening was the first that we saw deer in our yard. There were several does and a young buck--the turkeys haven't shown up yet.


Matt called and told us they got their first major snowfall of the year--eight to ten inches and they were getting more snow today along with high winds. Sara emailed a photo of Sam, Hanna, and Rachel enjoying the first snow. Looks like we left Minnesota at just the right time--glad we are here enjoying the nice warm days, although it looks like the kids are having a blast.
