Seasons-a-changin'

We sit here helplessly as winter ushers itself in.  Only a few remnants of fall remain and that's the wet leaves on the ground and a few trees that franticly hang on to their last brightly colored leaves.  We have done the majority of the work to get prepared for winter, including pulling the garden out, bringing in all the patio furniture and we still have some pots to bring in.  Strangely, I have 1 geranium that refuses to let go, it's hanging on with 30 degree weather and frost, I can't believe it!  Tim is outside winterizing his motorcycle and the lawn tractor.  Friday night and Saturday we had snow, but nothing stuck.  Now, there is a flurry coming down again. Although I truly love the first winter snowfall that sticks to the ground, I hope we have a mild winter, at least not one with the amount of snow we had last year!  -L
