Lowering

The lowering sky brings a promise of snow, beginning tonight and lasting through Sunday. Forecasts suggest up to 20cm. That’s fine, we will be snug, cooking and baking, foraying out to shovel as we need, keeping the bird feeders full, walking the pups.

Threatened

The sky threatened to spew snow during most of today day, carrying out its threat only a few times.

There will be many more opportunities during the next few months.

Coming

Winter is coming, we can’t wish it away, may want it to never come but come it will. I’m looking forward to the season of rest, renewal, pondering the lessons of 2016 and how to apply those lessons to the next seasons of gtowth.

See you Thursday.

Waited, watched

When I arrived home this attractive little rabbit was crouched between the car and the gate. It waited, watched while I got out and edged circuituously by, dashing off only when I was about six feet away.
