Have you ever gone outside and realized that it no longer smells like fall, but there, in the crisp air, is the aroma of winter?
This week has started bringing frosty mornings that don't thaw before the sun sets and the smell of wood fires burning throughout the neighborhood. We are actively losing about five minutes of sunlight a day. It is still quite dark at 8:30 in the morning and the sun is setting earlier each night.
With the approaching winter comes the need to prepare the yard, the house, and the cars. Since our van has front wheel drive we opted to get studded tires over snow tires.
Our girl has had quite a few exciting months, and she needed some TLC. New brakes, new shoes, and fresh oil; she is ready for whatever Mother Nature has to dish out.
Now to get that emergency back pack stuffed and ready - just in case.
