Time to Go Winter

This was a headline in today's paper. It refers to an energy expo in town, but for us it meant changing the tires on the Mazda (need new summer tires next year) and changing the T-shirts in some drawers for long-sleeve tops.

Rob is at work today because there was a power outage. He went in early to get things shut down before 6 AM and now it's going to take a few more hours to get everything turned back on. I could have gone in this time to work on pottery, but there's a knitting meeting around the corner in an hour and Rob is going to get there very late.

It rained a lot recently and some of it came out in our hillside:

 You can get the scale from the meter-high tansies. They're so healthy because the compost pile used to be next to them.

We've also had a lot of wind recently and Rob's efforts to keep the wood covered don't always last long. He covered them again because it's snowing now!
