Okay, Alright...

...I have to accept it. Winter has arrived, a bit early. The weather man/woman is predicting a balmy +8C on Tuesday, but they've been changing their minds every day for the past week. It's been hovering around the freezing point for the past week or two, with heavy frosts at night. And the snow that fell last week is still laying there.

There are trees on the town side of the sidewalk that runs in front of my house with the leaves still on them, though, which is fine with me. I didn't want to do all that raking anyway.

Oh, and there's still a few stupid birds poking around. Birds that should have gone south before now. Maybe November will be warm. (Knocking on wood.)

Where IS that global warming when you need it?
