Fall Reflection

For me fall is a time for reflection.

Things in nature begin to wind down,

people begin to hunker down for the winter

at least in the Northern Hemisphere.

It is dark now by 5:30 PM here in Nova Scotia,

and not too far down the road that will change to 4:30.

We will be getting the garden ready/prepared for winter.....

reminds me I have to find a door to fit the garden shed,

get the snow tires put on the car,

call the snow-removal guy to make sure he will clear the driveway 

all winter long,

call the tree-guy to see if he can take down two birches

that may not be able to withstand any stormy winter,

oh right! Ron needs a new winter coat

so we will be searching high and low for one that suits him.

See? Lots on which to reflect before our winter arrives.

How about you guys? What do you have to do to get ready for winter?

Took this yesterday at Lake Banook in Graham's Grove Park in Dartmouth.
