My plans to start outdoor Christmas decorating were put on hold, as a gentle rain has been falling throughout the day.
The house is dark and cozy, the teapot is full, candles are glowing, and a portly kitty sleeps at my feet.
Maybe tomorrow......

The Nesting Season
The ground is soaked from a day of rain. Much needed rain, for which we are grateful.
I've been busy running errands today, ticking off my to-do list.
Hearty soups have now become the meal of choice.
Nights are noticeably cooler, and darkness falls before the clock strikes five..
Candlelight glows.
The nesting season begins.

Foggy Start
Our day started with a thick, soupy fog, and much cooler weather than we have had in several weeks.
Rain is falling, and predicted for the next couple of days.
Of all days, I had appointments to keep, and putting them on hold wasn't an option.
Traveling home down Main street our little town has installed twinkling Christmas lights on each light pole , it's such a magical time of the year.

Autumn Thoughts
November days and the air conditioner continues to hum.
81 degrees warm, it feels like the middle of summer, and yet of course, our nights are now dark by 5:30pm.
The trees are losing their leaves prematurely, due to the lack of rain, I'm considering unboxing the Christmas decorations.

November Days
Tonight our semi-annual clock fiddling takes place once again.
An hour backwards from Daylight Saving Time, affording an extra hour of sleep on these colder mornings.

Indian Summer
Indian Summer is upon us. Balmy warm days, and mist-laden nights.
One last chance to indulge in fleeting Summer pleasures.

October Days
We had our first real taste of Autumn weather last night, tonight down in the mid forties and snugly blankets will once again return to the beds.
The sound of distant laughter can be heard from giggly school children enjoying their Fall break, and down on Main Street Oktoberfest's are in full swing.
