Today started with blue skies here in Little Egypt, but it's now overcast with frantic clouds

fleeing before blasts of December's wind. Temperatures are temporarily mild before tomorrow dawns with a predicted high of 36 degrees. Winter is rattling the oak trees and howling over the chimney, but I am ----I guess "content" is the best I can come up with.

A fire has been layed, the wood bin is filled, Mrs. A has made a pot of chilli AND a cast iron skillet of cornbread and I am rereading Michener's "Alaska" while I sip a mug of Earl Grey.

What's not to like?

The wind was howling out there. I though it was lovely, and late fall-like. You folks have some real nice woods.
