… most definitely here.  The wind was blowing fiercely this afternoon … gusting to around 45.  I was watching outside waiting for the cows and horses next door to start flying through the air.  Fortunately for the neighbor, they stayed grounded, though at least one cow did escape the pasture.  Today was one of those days I wish I had a weather station (though I don’t want to get one of the cheapo wal-mart varieties).

Yesterday was pretty uneventful.  Liz spent a chunk of the day out and about at a baby shower with Warren for one of her friends.  Laura and I did our usual Saturday morning garbage/recycling routine followed by fun at the park.  She likes the slide though yesterday she wanted to swing more.  Last night I spent a good chunk of the evening researching video equipment for church.  I’m still not sure what route I want to go with it.

This morning we went to church and I assisted with communion as I often do (one of the duties of being on the board of deacons).  I found myself irritated with the two people who were assisting, as they failed to help clean up afterwords.  Both have been around enough to know that there is cleanup to do after the service.  Oh well.

This afternoon we watched part of the Packer game and ate yummy popcorn.  Eventually sleep became a higher priority so we took a nap.  Woke up to good news and bad news … Packers won but so did the Vikings.  Liz left me with the kids while she went grocery shopping.  We watched Extreme Makeover: Home Edition … they helped out a family in Wisconsin!  :)

Back to the title of the post … it’s windy, rainy and cool outside.  I made the comment to Liz earlier this afternoon that it felt like it should be snowing outside.  I’d like to enjoy the season a little more before snow flies though.  A bonfire with s’mores sounds good too.  :)  Anyway, my night to do the mid-night feeding and I have work tomorrow … so I’m going to catch some Z’s while they’re still easy to catch.
