What is up with this year! Labor day has come and gone, not sure if it was the same everywhere, but the water at a cousins house, in his usually very welcoming swimming pool, was definitely on the, freezing your butt off cool side. Others seemed to be of the same opinion, as hubby and I returned home early from a family visit. (Sunday afternoon.) We passed several boats heading away from the lake, all covered up and seemingly put to bed for the winter.

It seems to me that the year is flying by yet again, with the weather apparently hurrying along the process, accelerating towards fall. Yet I love winter. I love the food, the clothes you can wear and most of all; I love a fire on a wet, blustery night. Soon the leaves will be falling softly, gently to the earth, long scarves, wooly hats, heavy coats and beef stew bubbling on the kitchen cook top will become common. Jack Frost is just around the corner.

For me the year is going just fine and winding the year down towards its close is not necessarily, a fall down. For some of us, fall is an up!
