Change of Seasons

Officially, it's still fall but feels more like winter.  This week we are preparing for a frigid plunge in temperatures that the meteorologists predict to last the rest of the month.  Bah!  Two of my humongous plants still are outside.  Today, they get moved.  I made arrangements for firewood, and I'm "hunkering down" (as my sister Jan would say!) for the cold spell.  A warm fire, a spell-binding novel, and the delicious smell of homemade soup on the stove should keep me happy. Maybe some hot chocolate, or better yet, an Irish coffee!
