Turn Back Time

The 30 Day Blogging Challenge is rolling along nicely. Such interesting and unusual prompts lead to some equally interesting and unusual blog entries. What a great way to spend November!

Things here in Roundup are quiet. Still no rain or snow. Just dry and very windy yesterday. Usually around these parts, wind means a storm will come on its tail. There may be some rain tonight, winter storm warning over toward Livingston and Bozeman. But those parts are near the mountains, so they'll probably get some snow. Us? I'll be surprised if any rain comes.

We are planning to go again to Big Timber for Thanksgiving. We don't have family here. So we'll go back to an old hotel there. It's an old cowboy hotel that has an excellent restaurant. It was built in 1890 and is on the historic register. Wondeful old place. Plus nearby are the Crazy Mountains so we can get a hike or two in.

Tonight we turn back the clocks. I hate this time of year when the sun decreases. I need the light. I always thank God when the winter solstice comes in December and we swing back toward light again.
