I saw a dark orange full moon early this morning.
Later, I watched a hot pink sun come up.
Our haze from fires has caused some amazing colors in the heavenly bodies.
We have finally said good bye to the stifling hot temperatures, and I'm not minding one bit putting on extra layers.
I've pretty much decided that with the extremes we've been experiencing the past few summers, I'll take cooler air over hot any day.
So, I'm looking forward to the days ahead and hoping that even a little rain will fall.
The pastures could really use some moisture.

I made it to the Farmers' Market yesterday and came home with a jar of Randy Wilhelm's honey.
Randy is getting his first taste of retirement after a few decades of teaching. It was fun to compare notes with him and to meet his nephew Nathan.
Nathan lives in Puyallup where he works in the banking industry. He also loves to geocache, so I connected both him and Randy with Annie.
The farmer's market was buzzing with lots of commerce and with great people watching.
I did see one friend who was on her way home. She lamented that she knew fewer than a handful of people during her time shopping there.
But we knew each other, and that was good for both of us.
It was great fun going to the boys and girls basketball bake sales yesterday.
The girls took one end, and the boys took the other in the main entrance of North 40.
That big tall kid among all the tall kids has a mom who knows how to bake. She said this is Kingston's senior year, and she's been baking goodies for similar sales for four years.
While getting somewhat acquainted with the players on both teams, I learned that I had taught one players mom and grandma. So, of course, that will make him special as we watch them play in the upcoming season.
They are all very nice and fun kids on both teams.
And, of course, our hearts go out to both squads because Willie coached the girls for several years and will coach the boys for the first time this season.
GO, BULLDOGS!
Randy and Nathan and Randy's yum yum honey.
If anyone knows who this singer is, tell me her name and tell her that I enjoyed her talents yesterday at the Farmers' Market.
Today I'm looking forward to one of the rites of fall and winter, watching a little football, specifically the Seattle Seahawks.
Last night I watched a portion of the WSU-San Diego State game. I see this morning that the Cougars won handily 36-13.
What's especially neat about following the Cougs this year is the Sandpoint connection, which Bill and I always look for with any big event.
In this case, the name Leckner came up a few times (Are you reading this Verna?).
Trey Leckner, who grew up in Western Washington, caught two touchdown passes, and that made us happy because we know his family members.
His great-grandfather Jack Leckner and my dad Harold Tibbs worked together for many years as employees of the City of Sandpoint.
Any time there's a Sandpoint connection, Bill and I love it.
So, we'll be keeping track of the Cougs and Mr. Leckner all season.
I think the Leckner family is feeling pretty justifiably proud this morning.
If we look hard enough, maybe we'll find a Seahawks connection.
Hope they win today.
Happy Sunday.
