A Little Bit of Chill ... A Better Night's Sleep

I'm sure that fall hasn't quite hit in every location,

but we are thankful for the little bit of chill that has come with fall in the PNW.

We are also thankful to see the grass "green up" again with the more regular rain.

We are especially glad for the cooler temps that allow us to have the windows closed (or nearly closed at night).

The master bedroom (the guest bedroom too) open to a fairly major road.

At least twice in our 4 months here,

we have heard major accidents at 2 in the morning.

One involved someone running a red light and hitting another car (we know because we could hear the driver's discussions after the wreck).

The other involved someone veering off the road and going through the "compound" wall that outlines our cul-de-sac - they missed our backyard by about 4 sections.

With the cooler temps, we can have the windows closed more

which cuts down on the racing noises and the crash noises!

This translates to better sleep!
