I look forward to walking with my dog this morning.
John will be working on our new back door and back entrance siding.
Mick and April arrive here this afternoon.
Outside: 45F, overcast, drizzling, sprinking, raining, a darker world.
We have been very busy lately with traveling and having visitors. We were in Portland for a week before Thanksgiving Day.
November was a very busy month for Karen and I.
We have repaired the entire south side of our house and the entire back porch. Both have been painted.
Busy with part-time employment 3 days 8 hours per week, and hope to retire from this job in 12/18. I still teach yoga/qigong 3 hours each week.
Pulled up dying summer vegetables, raked, spread manure. Enjoyed working outdoors when it was sprinkling. When it really started to rain I retreated to a shed or indoors.
"From December to March, there are for many of us
three gardens -
the garden outdoors,
the garden of pots and bowls in the house,
and the garden of the mind's eye."

Cold nights and wind have killed all the summer vegetables.
2015 gone for them and us.
