Cold on the way.
Filed under: General
Time to have the chimney checked and the gutters cleaned, prepare for winter. Last year was pretty bad, hoping this year will be a bit milder in this area. I enjoy winter, but am not too fond of having to drive in it. Although, if I was the only one on the roads it wouldn’t be too bad, but there are whole bunches of other idiots out there and they scare me sometimes. Snow, ice, water and the ability to drive goes out the window for many people. That is also fairly scary, just being on the same roads with these people can make your life flash before your eyes.
Winter is heading this way, not in a hurry to be sure, but heading this way. Fall is here and the rain is starting to show it, leaves are beginning to fall and colors are starting to appear. Already some trees have disrobed, and stand there baring their souls to the winter, ready for anything that comes their way. Be it rain or snow or dark of night, as the saying goes but in this case we are talking trees instead of mailmen.
Winter really brings all sorts of things, but it doesn’t stop the daily grind. At least it doesn’t any more. It used to but now things go on, people still have to go to work, still have to make a living, keep food on the table and warmth in the hearth. If they don’t it is just as bad as it was many years ago when you worked hard to save up enough food to help you through the winter. Now you don’t save up, you just continue working through the winter. I am thankful that even though I too must work I am in this time and not having to struggle like those who have gone before. I don’t think I would be too happy having to get up early to chop wood and try and hunt some food on the snow covered ground.
