I heard a quote the other day which I really like: "The harder I work, the luckier I am". Wow! I like that.

  Payson (AZ) was predicted to get its first snow last night or today. I LOVE SNOW, AND I CAN'T WAIT! It rained a little last night at our house, but when we woke up- clear blue sky with not a cloud in sight! Now it's clouding up again, and the weather report still says chance of snow. We'll see...

This picture doesn't quite do the aspens justice. They were glowing! Aspens are THE symbol of Fall for a lot of our area. But they are dying off, and no one seems to agree on why. Here's a link to one article about the die-off. I hope someone can solve the problem. It would be a much duller Fall...
