Day 36 – Just a few flakes today, but I am ready to light a fire in the fireplace, pour a Bailey’s and snuggle under a warm blanket. Winter has its pleasures.

Day 19 – My son showed me where the kids in the neighborhood made a hideout in the woods near our house. They also marked a path down to the creek. Some things never change. When I was a kid, I had a hideout under some trees on the shore of Lake Champlain.

Day 7 – The tree in our front yard usually waits until the end of Autumn to turn colors. It becomes a brilliant yellow beacon overnight and then just as quickly looses its leaves all at once. But this year, it is giving us a beautiful slow transition with lots of red and yellow.
