Cooking dinner and considering the economy, thinking about the morning paper headline, hundreds laid to waste as all they know goes to the highest bidder. The mountains this morning were the evidence of last nights ice storm that's left thousands without electricity and heat. We were spared somehow and I wonder when we will get hit with something.

I didn't manage to stay asleep too long this morning thanks to the fresh sun and it's reflection on the young snow. I'm happy to be awake as it gives me some quiet time to read, have a cup of tea and listen to Weekend Edition Sunday. Posted via LiveJournal.app .

The bulk of this morning spent raking leaves and picking rocks from the yard to toss into the ravine that runs along the property.  It was cold and dry, quiet with clouds though not especially overcast... This season brings so much with it and I finally feel as though I am prepared and experienced enough to know what to do and when to do it.  There will be exceptions though, there always are.
