AND STRANGE...

That one is for "PTfan"!

This was going to be titled "The Countdown"...

Only twenty-four more days until the ski hill opens for the season!!!!

This time of year is always one of anticipation.
November can be such a grey, dreary month.
All the outdoor activities have to be put on hold for a while.
It is too cold to mountain bike, but not cold enough to go skating yet.
There are no leaves on the trees and the ones on the ground rattle about like lost soldiers.
It is our last chance for gathering.
We need wood for the woodstove to keep us warm during the next few months, canned goods to see us through until we have fresh fruit and vegetables again, dried pastas for energy and we stock up the freezer with baking and home cooked meals, so that coming home from work is that much easier.
The early evenings are dark.
We hunker down in front of the fire, catch up on homework, read to the kids and maybe watch some TV.
Or blog.

And wait...
