A better day

We have sundogs today, the joy of a cold winter morning.

The GlassStacker and I have done our Christmas travel early. We went to Gramma's last weekend for a really nice visit. We will have family Christmas at home. The GlassStacker will cook ribs and fixings and I will assist by keeping the fire stoked, gathering supplies and generally being available.

Late Fall in Minnesota

Winter, not yet on the calendar, is on the ground and needs to be shoveled. It is the time when the belt that drives the snowblower is discovered to be in need of replacement. Put on the mittens, boots, real clothes and hat, find the shovel and have at it.

Winter is on the ground.
