We are getting ready for the first snow storm since last winter. The house is ready. The summer tools are all put away. Rakes, shovels, hoe, wheelbarrow and lawnmower are sound asleep in the shed. They'll hibernate until some day in April, perhaps March, they are called to duty again.
Only the smoker is still on duty, our iron sentry in the backyard, awaiting a Thanksgiving rendezvous with a turkey.
Our first snow is usually a light one, an inch or two. They say this one will be several multiples of that. We'll see.
It has been a good fall. One of the best of our twelve years in Minnesota.
It is 45 days until Christmas.
