Grey November Days

The trees outside my office window are wearing bright yellow and deep crimson bonnets now. I wish that we had the bright blue skies and golden Fall sun to give them the glow, but we have hit what I call Grey Days.

Every Fall we have a period of 1-2 weeks where the days are dark and dreary. With the time change, darkness falls very quickly. The Grey Days want you to curl up on the couch and do nothing. Its tough to get outside and get chores down when its cold and damp. On top of that, my dogs smell exceptionally 'doggie' when they come in from the garden. They shake off the wet and leave muddy prints all over the wood floors. I end up staying in the kitchen where they can spend time on their beds trying to dry off.


You can do nothing more that peer out the window with a cup of hot tea and hope for a few rays of sunlight. Winter is peeping out from around the corner and blowing kisses of frost upon the window panes.

Funny how you post a picture of a miserable dark sky and it makes me miss Virginia.

Dark and shorter days here too, though the sun has been out recently. I took an evening walk listening to fireworks tonight, the castle had a similar gray haze around it, I couldnt tell if it was clouds (as it was drizzling slightly) or smoke from all the fireworks over the city.

And Im drinking a cuppa tea too..

Virginia misses you. Did stop by the other day and gave Max and Hanna a bit of love.
They told me to tell you hello.
