All that is gold does not glitter, not all those who wander are lost; the old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost.

J. R. R. Tolkien

Today is the first frost warning of the season. Yuck. It is not really a big deal for me no garden planted this year. It is what it signifies. Winter is on its way. Not yet but soon. The leaves haven’t even changed yet. No birds have gathered for the huge fall migration.

It is too soon. I have no wood chopped or chainsawed, not much left anyways. The roof on my back deck is not done. No need to panic yet no snow this is just the first frost. of many
