And now we're having a steady soaking rain, which is needed.
of course, it may freeze overnight ...

I put the faucet cover back over the back yard spigot after doing some work this week that required a hose. We haven't quite actually had a real freeze yet; the basil is still green in the pots on the driveway side of the house though some of the sweet potato vines have slumped from the cold.

Odd weather this fall.

We are getting thick powdery snow overnight.
Just in time for tomorrow's choral Christmas concert,
a fresh coating of white snow on the landscape.
And it is to be bitterly cold, single digits Fahrenheit.

Winter solstice and no turning back, not even for the weather.
It is bitterly cold outside and
there is a coating of snow on the ground.

The choral concert was a success, although
it was difficult to warm up the church sanctuary for the concert
with the subfreezing temperatures outside.
Still we had good attendance and the audience received us warmly.

Now we get a couple of weeks off,
until it's time to rehearse for concerts in the New Year.

Where I'm staying, we had
a combination Christmas/Hanukkah dinner,
complete with singing around the menorah.
A good time was had by all,
even if the apple crisp could have been a little better.
(besides, there's chocolate candy around)

65° here today, Fahrenheit...

We are titrating down on the meds. Much better.

Mrrzy, grand that things are more stable with your meds.

Here in New England, we've had enough precipitation in this county
that we have had our status changed from
severe drought to moderate drought.
So much for staying afloat . . .

Moving to where idyllic village life in Green Mountains that enhance privacy and visitors is desired, I would choose Vermont. It is where Robert Frost, Rudyard Kipling, Sinclair Lewis and other authors built homes. It holds the open secret of other authors' residences. If you choose this road less traveled it may make all the difference.

The license plate tags have been delivered, complete with sticker.
It took something like ten weeks for the order to be processed and delivered, but now they are here.
Big sigh of relief.
