I'll do the best I can Scott but no promises. Purging the lawn sprinklers this week.

I'll be raking and hauling leaves today...again. I've cleaned my yard but with breezy weather the last few days I now have my neighbours leaves to contend with. Apparantly its easier that way, as it happens every year.

Envy the warmer temperatures of the States but like our Summer here, it made for some nasty fires. Hope all are safe in California.

John, Albuquerque's elevation is 30 feet higher than Denver. They get cool at night and the air is very dry usually. Here in Houston we are having mid 80's for lows and mid 90's during the days with high humidity. We right now have a "cold front" that is going to last 24 hours and right now it is all the way down to 78 with a low predicted of 65. By Thursday back to the low 90's. With our high humidity it feels really hot! We could use at least one day of snow this winter, it has been many years since we had any.

"Purging the lawn sprinklers" ? What on earth is that?
We do have to dash around as the first freeze of winter sets in (Late December) to cover our house faucets.
Not sure if you guys have to do that fun task? It generally involves waiting till the last minute then dashing
around to all the Home Depots in search of the elusive faucet covers.
