Morning after snowfall
Snowy Field
Mr. Matthew’s Field
Work shut down early today. Maybe a foot of snow to fall by morning. Not a big deal in places used to it, but that much snow pretty unusual in this area, even here next to the mountains.
Temperatures expected to drop to -7°F Thursday night.
Glad we have firewood.

November ~ Dog Walking
Took the little old man for a walk in the woods, just ahead of the rain, and the dark.
There’s a little stream below the dam.
It sprinkled on the turn back, wetting the rocks and lichens.
Makes the colors stand out.
MASCF 2014 ~ St. Michaels, Sunday
For some reason, Sundays always clear out fast every year at MASCF. By noon it’s all but deserted, with just us diehards still around. Odd, because, and because, it’s usually the nicest day to be there.

Day’s End
Morning is long in the tooth. Missed breakfast. Almost missed coffee, which would have been a bad thing. You know the old church potluck trick, the tip-the-urn-forward-to-get-the-last-half-cup? Just enough caffein in the bottom to fuel requisite fumbling with a camp stove for a batch of the real deal.
