now

The skies are all gray today, and while the earth warmed a little from our earlier mornings of hard freezes, it is safe to assume that winter is actually coming.

I am hopeful that I can get bulbs in the ground soon. The window is closing.

Yesterday, the dog and I had a few minutes to roam around the backyard -- I watch so that he doesn't climb over the fence. The backyard is riddled with mole tunnels, and walking across the ground is like walking on top of sponges.

For some reason, they have stayed out of the front yard.
