My last day out at school was this past Friday. It was a brutally cold week. Carrie and I froze in what we called "Craft Hell" (freezing cold studios filled with equipment to be counted, cleaned, sorted and then closed up). I am happy to be done out there, I will miss that view.

Very Windy last night into this morning. Very. This was the storm that seals the fate of most of the beautiful leaves. Now there are more bare trees than not. We knew it was coming. The mild temperatures this weekend were gentle in ushering the season along.

Hunting season starts this week.
