Winter Is In The Air

We knew it had to happen sooner or later. Lucky for us here in Minnesota it seems to be happening a little later in the year than normal. Yes, winter is teasing us with its cold and snowy grasp. Trees here are all but bare and the landscape has taken on its grey hue. Most telling however was the wind, the temps and the white flakes that flew around all afternoon yesterday. Yep -- snow. Nothing measurable or even of a nuisance but enough to remind us that Toto I don't think we are going to be in the fall season much longer.

Yesterday morning before school I had to send Ryan downstairs to search through the storage bench by our back door for a hat and mittens. Both he and Anna resisted winter coats but were quite happy to cover their ears and hands.

Me? I cranked the heat and heated seat on high in the car on my commute to and from work and pondered moving south. :-)
