Seasons

Ahhhh, Fall. I am sure you all know how much I love Fall by now. Its so fresh and crisp outside. The fire roars inside. Gray and bleak with rain or warm and sunny clean up days, are all just fine by me. One of the things about living in a mountainous forested region that I most love, is the smell of Fall. Its so glorious!! I could get drunk on the air in the morning before the dew has dried. Fall brings my favorite kind of change. Hibernation season. Winter. Oh I love being stuck at home with a foot of snow on the ground around me. Silly as it may sound, I love the slower pace of life that the seasons dictate out here. The trees are bathed in a rainbow of colors. The animals are present, looking for the last available food of the season. I am ready to harvest my catnip, but it seems about the only thing the bees have left and it is just swarming with pollinators. I cant bring myself to take it from them yet. Fall clean up is upon us and the place looks great. Hubby built me a new perennial bed for Spring (you know I will be just as excited about Spring, right?)I cannot wait to plant it! But first we must get through winter. I am having so much fun doing these product reviews. It seems like I am lucky to receive items that are both useful to our family and arrive just as needed. This week, just in time for the cold and flu season, I received a free digital thermometer in exchange for my honest opinion on the product. Well I am either getting old, or this is the coolest thermometer I have ever seen. To be fair, I still have an old mercury thermometer in my medicine cabinet. I think it is the best, but this new digital thermometer is pretty stellar. If has a soft flexible tip on it. It has a backlit display, I sure would have appreciated that feature in the wee hours of the morning when my boy was small. It has an alarm that notifies you of fever. Its fast. Water resistant. It can even be used on the forehead?! That surprised me. For Rescue Ranch purposes I would certainly think about keeping a couple of these on hand.

this is a pretty sweet thermometer. If you want to check it out for yourself you can find them here. I hope that you are all having a lovely week, and that none of you find yourselves in need of a thermometer, but if you do, that is a good one. Have a blessed day my friends. I look forward to sharing more goodies with you later this week.
