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.
