Winter is coming!

Do you smell it? The pungent scent of the damp leaves on the ground, the crisp scent of the apples that have fallen from their trees, the smoldering smoky scents of autumn have arrived.

We took down our pool this weekend. We're trying to get all those little things done that it would be nice to have done before the weather turns cold. Soon we'll be getting a delivery of coal for our coal stove and the basement will be toasty warm all winter. I love it!

I'm actually not sure which season I like better, autumn or winter. Winter is wonderful: snow, frost, that puff of breath when you step outside. But autumn is great, too. The weather is getting cooler, but you can still wear short sleeves. There are beautiful leaves everywhere, fields full of pumpkins, and Halloween and Thanksgiving. They're both great seasons for me.

Of course, spring is nice, too.

What is your favorite season, and why?
