Winter

I am told some people actually look forward to the four months ahead of us here on the NCR.  The idea of bundling up to walk the dog or check the mail, let alone turning up the thermostat or putting on the winter tires is enough to make me scream.  Maybe it is just age speaking, but I sure hope global warming improves the weather from November to April.  Unfortunately, the prediction is for snow starting next Saturday.  If November comes in like a Lion, perhaps December, et. al will behave more lamb like.   Meanwhile, the garden continues to grow.  Late spinach, cauliflower, broccoli, carrots and beets are the mainstays, but there are also potatoes to dig and garlic to plant.  I hope the forecast for the weekend moderates as we get through the week.
