We had our first snowfall yesterday. Flakes the size of your thumbnail slowly swirled out of the clouds, dancing thru the crisp air and landing on the earth. I went for a walk to town.........the falling snow tickled my cheeks and stuck to my eyelashes.
This morning when we awoke our world had a coat of white. Winter has arrived, and we are ready physically, if not mentally. The patio furniture is covered on the back deck. The wood pile is stacked and ready for those evening fires. The snow tires are on and the van is winterized. The front stairs to the house have chicken wire stapled down to prevent those icy slips. The summer toys have been put away, and the garage is ready for our van. There is a new filter in the furnace, in preparation for lots of use.
There are still warm days to come, though we will continue the slide into Winter.
