I like driving in shoulder season, especially on a fall weekday when there's less traffic on the highways.
The 93 mile leg from Cle Elum to Lone Pine Fruit and Espresso is my longest, so the store is a welcome sight and rest break. Customers are unfailingly greeted with a hello and smile from the familiar sweet women who work there.
Yesterday was still warm enough to sit outside and have a cup of their homemade soup.
Corn and green chili...
Very quiet and pretty along the river, with the cottonwoods just turning gold. Hunting season is on, so the deer might be hiding.
Our HomeWatch company already shut down the irrigation system and blew out the lines. The local snow plower set up his markers on the driveway. Winter is just around the corner.
I have a pleasant day ahead. Amanda is working at her office in Twisp, so hopefully we can slip out for lunch between patients. Then Karen invited me to go with her to Lost River Winery in Winthrop later today for an artist's exhibit.
Nova brought her little pink sparkly homecoming dress over after school yesterday. Yikes! I shortened the straps and fingers crossed I can get it securely sewed back together. (Nana does not want to be responsible for any traumatic high school wardrobe failures.)
