When I got up this morning, there was a thin layer of wet snow on the ground. The sky has been grim and the wind has been howling all day. Yuck. Today’s weather really doesn’t warrant close examination, so I thought I’d share some photos I took last week.

I took these at around 5pm, as I was leaving to take Rory for his final check-up at the vet. I wish I’d taken my camera with me, as the sun was gorgeous when it finally set. Unfortunately, I left it at home. I got a few good pictures of the pre-setting sun, though, so I can’t complain too much.
I always hate the onset of winter, not because of the cold weather, but because of the short days. Even though the days begin to lengthen when winter officially starts, it doesn’t seem to help. It just takes so damned long for the change to be noticeable. Being on flex time helps. Before I changed my schedule, it was dark when I left for work and dark when I returned home. Now, it’s only dark in the mornings. Having a little more light keeps me from going completely stir crazy.
And, on that note, I’m off to help move around some furniture next door, then cut up bread for tomorrow’s stuffing. Mmmm. I can live without turkey, but Thanksgiving without stuffing is just wrong.
