I actually thought of you, Andrew, when I wrote this piece. That’s scary. Zen moments in the back yard?

Nice. The type of post I read your blog for. I feel like putting on a scarf, but it’s sunny here and heading into the upper 60s. My kind of weather.
The grass has gone dormant, the foliage on the young cypress trees on the north side of our house are turning brown. Yesterday I spotted my first goldfinch at the feeders. Haven’t seen one of those for 8 months. Last week it was the chipping sparrows that returned. The cycle is complete.
Hope you and Judy are well.

Don’t forget the antifreeze for the car. Methinks it’s gonna be a cold one.

Thanks for the reminder Walter. I’m getting my boots, my shovels, my hats, mittens, and thermals out today. This unseasonably warm weather is one big set up for a big punch line. As I told my family yesterday, we need to embrace winter and we need to say it out loud: I love winter. Yes I do. We love winter. Yes we do.

Here’s one for your grand kids:
What did the big furry hat say to the warm woolly scarf?
You hand around while I go on ahead.
