Somehow the calendar slipped into October. All of the opportunities summer held have now slipped away. It's time to sweep summer into the paper bags that will hold the leaves at the end of the driveway. We can pack the lawn mower away and get the snow blower fired up so the first flakes are easily taken care of.
I am not a fan of long cold and snowy winters. However, the fall season is delightful and the warm days and crisp nights are a wonderful time to enjoy a fire in the back yard, a brisk morning walk with the dog and an afternoon driving through the countryside to enjoy the fall foliage.
Today is a great day to take in a deep breath of the cool fresh air we take for granted here. Enjoy a walk around the neighborhood and get ready to bundle up. Winter is coming!
Unless of course you live in western South Dakota...sorry, it's time for snowshoes.
