My little collie and I were setting off on one our favorite walks when we encountered our neighbour walking his two shepherds. I have been walking my dogs on his property for years now. I'd heard about his German Shepherds and so always carefully managed my walks when he and his dogs were in Florida for the winter. When I finally met him three years ago both he and his Fifis, as he calls them, turned out to be friendly and so now Tip and I can trespass with confidence.
We had our first snow fall on the weekend -- it has gone but the weather remains cold. Garlic still needs to be planted and I will likely do that anytime within the next few days. The hurricane had brought much rain and I wanted to wait until the garden soil was drier.
The wood stove is in use again -- I deeply enjoy my slow breakfast by the glowing stove eating my porridge followed by a big pot of strong green tea. Now that the cold weather has become a fact that I can face, I have started to enjoy it. With sufficient firewood to last the season and minimal driving, it is a pleasure.
