New header photo

I like this photo of the wooden barn on Lambton Line so much I am going to use it as my header image for a while.

Squall

Faye and I set out to visit people a couple hours to the northeast. Just north of London we ran into this.

Previously texan still isn’t terrifically experienced never mind comfortable with snow squall driving so prudence (or perhaps an abundance of caution) dictated that we about-face and head back home. After backtracking about a mile we came upon a serious four-vehicle collision; since numerous people were already on the scene we drove on. Back home in Dresden, we are mostly in the clear with an occasional flurry so Faye is doing and hanging laundry.

Winter arrives

Winter arrives

It seems that the first true taste of winter will arrive today. A cold front came through yesterday and will be reinforced today, dropping the temperature throughout the day to a low of -5 tonight. Though we will not see the high side of freezing until sometime Monday or Tuesday, the snow squalls will stay to the east of us. Kendal will not care about any of this as long as the furnace works.
