Cold and Windy

About a month ago I complained here that the weather was 'too hot for this time of year'. Even though it was about the end of October and November was getting under way, temperatures each day were in the 80's and at night about 65. Well, mother nature made up for all that starting at the beginning of this week: temperatures all day in the 40's and overnight in the high teens or low 20's. Windy and blustery. Our Thursday night community supper had very poor attendance this week, partly because of the menu, I guess, and also because of the cold. The Independence Reporter (our daily newspaper) always prints our menu each week and encourages people to attend. Tonight it was beans and cornbread, and some salad. Apparently that was not 'delicious enough' to bring many of the usual crowd around.
