Snowed light but enough to cover the car roof white … indeed not much of  it.  It did not stick on the ground – Good thing!  When I was on my way to work  today, it was so windy  ~  blowing away fallen  leaves all over the road and was all yellow leaves scattered.  The temperature is going low so the rain would mean turning into snow.   No fuss … its the time of the year again.  No pictures yet.

Here’s what the weather service says for today: Skies are clearing and temperatures are dropping this evening as the winds die down.  The combination of clear skies, lighter winds and fresh snow cover will lead to a very cold night, with the possibility of some patchy fog by morning.  Overnight lows will dip to the upper 10’s and low 20’s, while some mountain locations will drop below zero.

One of the green plants that I have at home  has leaves turning yellow … and I was wondering when FALL has come to its world as well.   Or is it just the normal decaying leaves that will soon drop out??   Definitely the plant has the effect somehow.

Quite busy at work this evening … the property is about 61% in occupancy.  Had to do  all my paperwork  before I could sit down and blog haha.   I noticed that most of the guests are probably bored as they can’t sit outside for a nice time under the sun anymore ….   otherwise they do have a BBQ pit at the back (garden)  for an evening of fun ~~~ the weather is just freezing now.   Looks like the coffee packs are all gone from the Goody Basket and needs to be replenished.   We normally fill out the basket so that guest can help themselves anytime.   In the past, nobody really cared for the coffee packs.  Its the season …..

Friday, the 13th and the start of really cold days ahead …. snow can be seen on the mountains.   Went out for a merchandise return this afternoon.  Took this picture on the way out and it was about 4pm  … leaves are on the ground, in a beatiful spread!   Am on my day off but will work all weekend of fun at my part-time job.    Brrr its 31F or -1C!!!   

My last post was Saturday … its cold today, not much happening.  Decided to write a short note here.  I am actually hungry and have not eaten dinner yet.   Now I am craving for the same dish that I’ve had in a Japanese restaurant yesterday evening.   Had the Beef Teriyaki … was really delicious, a bit dry but loved the grilled beef.   Bernard had Beef & Shrimp and can’t remember the name of Lesley’s order.  It was some breaded chicken but was tasty as well.  This was the simple Japanese restaurant and most people takes away their orders and the pricing wasn’t that bad too, as compared to other Japanese contemporary restaurant.   There wasn’t any sushi or sashimi in their menu … just plain simple dishes for the hungry and quickie guests!!  I would go back to this place again for a quick meal …  They sell ‘bubble tea’ as well … 31 flavors.  Can’t really take it … loaded with ice – the main ingredient for the bubble tea.

Have seen these on display when I was at the Mall several weeks back … can’t remember where but I thought they’re beautifully designed!   Just thought I’d share …

Its Halloween night at work …  Saturday Night that is.    Its also the last day in October …  Daylight savings time ends tomorrow morning.  We all get to sleep an extra hour.    The rest of the day will be adjusting by itself from thereon …  I recently got hired for a Weekend job so can’t go shopping on the weekend anymore ….    I am working every Saturday and Sunday for another property organization and so far am happy here.   This is my 3rd week thus far!   I would want this to work out well for me, the people I work with are really nice and helpful.  Otherwise I am still having my other job full time .. though hours have been cut for the low season.  Just glad that I got this part-time job.

A few kids came for ‘Trick or Treat” .  We’ve got lots of candies and other good sweet stuff for them.   Pretty quite in the area though its just nice and cool outside … no wind today, just calm air.   Do not want any spooky stuff somewhere out there on Halloween.

Sights of Autumn are pretty much here in Boise … beautiful golden leaves and lots have fallen on the ground which makes the lawn look really pretty!   Have taken some pictures and will post  some when I get home.    There was light snow last Tuesday and was really nothing much sticking to the ground but nice to see a white rain in the come back.  We’ll probably get those in abundance come December onwards!

Was freezing over the weekend … next morning all the mountain top are all white and covered with snow….  pretty to look at!  No pictures yet by me but will get to that pretty soon …   will get a little bit warmer in the couple of days to come but summer is completely gone …. no more vacationing for me, at least for now.    Its all work and looking forward to the holiday season thats just around the corner!   Bogus Basin – a winter getaway, not far from where I live,  got about 6 inches of snow lately … and perhaps preparing for all time winter events. Well at least something to look forward to.

Look at what I bought over the weekend on my days off …. love scented candles and these candles are more than perfect for the home when I can’t let my doors and windows open during the cold season when its too cold for me.   I love to shop for these and bought 2 sets  … they’re perfect as gifts too.

Mooncake Day falls in today but have eaten away some in the past two weeks.   That’s our very ‘modern’ tradition!   Below is just a pretty version of the traditional mooncake, looking cutie as it is.   A box of mooncake with 2 salted eggs cost deliciously around $39.00.     We’re supposed to eat the mooncake under the moon under the tradition but I do not think its wise enough for the Boise weather to allow this tonight.   Brrr its cold and windy out there!  

End of  September (with a day still short) … and with the low temperature today, it wasn’t fantastic at all.  Gloomy as it may seem,  autumn is here.  Leaves are turning golden yellow and in fact, my favorite time of the year!  With the wind and rain combined, leaves are seen flying off the branches to fill the ground.

Its time to wear my jacket again ….

Hopefully there are still days with warmer weather coming up to cheer up any stressful work day!
