Cooler weather - oh Yah

It looks like we are starting to get cooler weather again.  I love the feel of "fall" in the air.  Although a few days ago you would have never believed that fall is just around the corner.  It is staying dark later now.  I get up at 6:00am an this morning it was still dark out.  Right now the sun is just starting to peak it's head out above the horizon. 
A couple days ago we a humidity level of 5%.  During that time we also had several fires going on in hte areas around us.  Medford and Ashland both had fires going that they had a lot of trouble getting under control.  The one in ashland caused homes to be evacuated as well as a couple of schools.  They had to bring in fire equipment from all over to be able to combat it.  The smoke from those fires settled into the valley here and made for a miserable day.  I am happy to see the cooler weather as it will help to reducce the fire hazards.
  We got moms test results back and they have cleared her for surgery. Now we are waiting on the surgeon to call and get it scheduled.  Her primary doctor blaming mom's memory issues on a bladder infection.  She claims that it can lead to cognitive issues. I hope she is right because I can tell how frustrated Mom gets when she has her little spells where it is hard for her to remember things.  Each week I notice that it is a little worse.  For me the hard part is that I never know from day to day if she is going to have a good day or a bad day.  She is anxious to get the surgery over with.  I am sure that she is in more pain than what she is letting on.  I will let you know when she has her surgery.
