Change is in the air…
A change in the air told me to go back and get a warmer jacket this morning when walking Piper. And maybe switch hats to a cap with ear covers? Not a Fashion statement but practical.
The last flowers in Puget Sound.
In the PNW our nights are hovering just above freezing at night. And according to our weatherman winds left a dusting of snow on the mountain tops—a preview of winter and a tantalizing wake up call for skiers and snowboarders. I wouldn’t be surprised if my girlfriend and her husband haven’t already headed north to Whistler in Canada in preparation for the wintry wonderland.
On the other hand many in this area are planning their winter getaway to Hawaii or Mexico. One of our sons hopes to go to South America! Not that I don’t enjoy traveling, but I’m not ready for heat again so soon. Maybe in January or February?
I’m feeling hungry! With Halloween and the dreaded candy bars behind me (I gave them away!) I’m longing for Turkey and stuffing and pumpkin pie with tons of whipped cream. Fortunately, my husband has taken over our kitchen to orchestrate the Thanksgiving meal! How did I get so lucky? Much to feel grateful for!
Twice a year I question my wisdom about having a battery run clock collection! With so many clocks in the house I’m sure to run into another one and think once again: What time is it? But I’m glad that the school age kids in the neighborhood get to sleep in an extra hour. I recall our sons standing in the dark waiting for the bus to arrive. So why is it so dark outside in the morning? Winter is approaching!

Don’t these cooler days and nights make you want to read? I’m in the mood for Christmas books and was astounded when I ran across one of my favorite author’s novels that I hadn’t read!
I consider Old Order Amish author Linda Byler a personal friend. She will not be online to read this endorsement because she is prohibited from using the Internet and electricity. How do I know? I’ve been to her home!
Best wishes,
Kate
