Well, another week behind us, and closer to Christmas. Scary, eh? I have found myself looking forward to the crisp air and snowy days. Although I hate driving in the stuff, I love snow - it is beautiful. As long as it doesn't snow so much I have to shovel the driveway. Ugh. OK, the more I think about it the less I like it, so I'll drop the subject before I change my mind.

I do like the cool air and chilly nights - less bugs. ;) I hate mosquitoes in particular, and they are getting fewer by the day. Hopefully at some point this winter we will have a hard freeze (below zero...) that kills off an appreciable percentage of the critters. We have a new heat pump, so perhaps I shouldn't be wishing for a hard freeze that would test its ability to heat the house!
