First snow of the season. Weatherman says one day of really cold. We were supposed to just get rain. But there are flakes falling. Lovely wet flakes. The ground squeals with delight. Nurturing moisture. Earth getting ready for winter.
New habits as a result of winter. Towels by the back door to wipe mud off dog feet. Air conditioners out of windows and stored away. Filters out of the heater registers so that the warmth can permeate the house. Windows closed to prevent drafts.
The desire to make soup or bake. Or both! Snuggling into my big armchair. Our first hot chocolate of the season. Wishing for Baileys. Worrying about how much snow will fall -- it's early in the season and all the leaves are still on the trees. Please Lord don't let the trees get weighted down this early. No broken branches.
Time to put the Fall wreath on the door. Get some birthday cards ready for mailing. Seems as though a lot of my friends were born in October. Clearly a good month.
Get the garden ready for winter. Plant winter rye for fertilizer. Get some horse manure for yard and compost. Make this sandy soil rich and ready for veggies next summer.
I've been gone awhile. Well I'm playing a game called write something every day for a year -- and see what you get. So here we go! Thanks for coming along.
