It's hard to believe it's already mid-October and even harder to comprehend that snow is falling. Driving to Milwaukee yesterday,m I encountered a section of road that upon reaching it, seemed like something was off. That "off" was the fact that it was flurrying like crazy and the view became a muddled mass of downy white. I almost pulled to the side of the road, put the car in park and cried. I'm just not ready for snow. Or this cold weather yet. Last weekend I was in D.C. walking around the Mall and Smithsonian and it was a very warm 78. Back at home it was balmy and in the mid 60s. Now we're down to 38 and sinking. Brrrr. I've just realized I need to bring in the patio furniture and get the snow blower ready. I may still sit down and cry, but as long as I'm in the house, I'm going to fix myself a hot toddy. Might as well get into the spirit of the season.
