It is getting colder now, more like January weather. The firewood is huddled up to keep warm, but what is that - do you see the smiley faces on the logs, or have I just been cooped up too long…
You can always tell if it is freezing, the rhododendron leaves droop like the ears on an old hound dog.
The bears have their sweaters on (me too), the woodbox is full, the electric blanket is on the bed, the little heater under my desk is blowing warm air on my toes.
The bulbs that came up back in the weird warm weather earlier in the month are having second thoughts and wishing they could backtrack.
