When the North Wind Doth Blow...

This morning we woke to the first frost.



I didn't want to scrape the ice off the car window.
I just wanted to sit here...
(Country Homes and Interiors)
' Or let Autumn fall on me
Where afield i linger,
Silencing the bird on tree,
Biting the blue finger.
White as meal the frosty field-
warm the fireside haven-
Not to Autumn will I yield,
Not to Winter even!
R. L. Stevenson.


It is going to be minus 3 tonight.... Boots, coats, scarfs and gloves at the ready.
