In Northern Nevada we are having a true Indian Summer. It froze several nights in a row and our highs were in the 30's. This week highs in the 60's & 70's. Its giving us time to finish putting the gardens to bed while enjoying this respite. The Paiute Tribe that roamed this area found this time to be perfect for collecting pinenuts as the freezing helped loosen the nuts from the pinecones thus easier to gather for the winter. I love this lull and look forward to the first snowfall.
