Winter reaching
That was a wacky couple of days there…fifty degrees and pouring down rain followed by four degrees overnight and winds so fierce it sounded like a train running into the house.
All morning, Lila and I admired the sun shining through the frost on the living room window. Then I had to go into the office for the first time since last Thursday. But let’s not go there right now. Let’s stay in our happy place that’s full of icicles and snowflakes and warm bowls of Navy Bean Soup and Buttermilk Biscuits and Zinfindel. Mmmkay?
"In summer we live out of doors, and have only impulses and feelings, which are all for action, and must wait commonly for the stillness and longer nights of autumn and winter before any thought will subside; we are sensible that behind the rustling leaves, and the stacks of grain, and the bare clusters of the grape, there is the field of a wholly new life, which no man has lived; that even this earth was made for more mysterious and nobler inhabitants than men and women. In the hues of October sunsets, we see the portals to other mansions than those which we occupy."
~Henry David Thoreau
