First Frost
I had the pleasure of having Anna's former roommate visit this week. She is the math specialist for the district and came to bring us some math cheer. She ran a family math night which the kids really enjoyed! The hit of the evening was a math game called "Greedy".
As we headed out towards the school this morning before dawn, we caught sight of glistening on the boardwalk, and had to step carefully... the wooden walk way was covered in frost! We decided to make our way along the road, which was surprisingly solid after so many days of wetness. The slimy clay mud that lines the road dries out very quickly!
On that same note, I can breathe a little easier now... the mail brought my new snowpants from Land's End. I had decided it made sense to order some when I got here, but I got a little nervous when it turned so cool so soon!
So, we are losing 6 minutes of daylight each day, and the weather is quite cool, especially with the strong winds coming off the bay. What is the weather like in your corner of the world?

That's a rapid rate of loss for the sunlight! Fall is here in WA after our one real week of summer last week. Hope you're doing well! Miss you!
ReplyDeleteI just read that our rate of sun loss per day is 3min. and 33 seconds. We have gone from record high temp.s one week, to the furnace coming on in the next.
