Darker Earlier

With the change in the clocks and the dark early evenings it feels like you don't have the time to see what is around you anymore. There is no daylight by the time I get home now and because of that I don't get to walk the dogs down by the river every day which I miss. Yeah, I have days off, but it was nice getting back in the summer and being able to go out for a little time with the pack.

We were talking yesterday about the change in the seasons, there was a biting rain, small drops but so cold that they stung the face and hands and left your ears wondering if you had just dipped them in the North sea.
We know that it's Autumn because we have branches instead of trees and the air attacks us with freezy droplets. It's different earlier in the year when we have full trees and the air attacks us with insects. We are now waiting to be unable to see any kind of tree at all through the dense fog while the air pounds us with hail. Looking forward to spring and the more gentle snowfall that will cut us off from the outside world because you can't get up the hill to get out of the valley.

Yeah.... I wouldn't want to be anywhere else....wheres my snow shovel....
