Days to be Outside Forever

“Days to be outside forever.” is how our dear friend Jeri Bemis described fall in West Central Idaho in a letter while we were away many years ago. That phrase has stuck with me over the years because year after year fall in this part of Idaho meets that high standard. The predominantly blue sky day temperatures are ideal for outdoor projects and recreation. A few September/October rain showers clean the air without adding humidity in this semi-arid environment; mornings and evenings are for what flannel shirts were so perfectly created. There is even visual exhilaration! Turning leaves create a magnificent crescendo of fall colors.
