It’s Coming

It’s Coming

It’s coming–cold weather, that is. My yard is littered with acorns and leaves. Squirrels are busily digging, burying a supply of food for the winter. Chances are, they’ll forget where it is but if they do, I’ll bet it won’t be hard to find more because there’s an abundance of acorns this year. Cool weather […]

In Between

I heard an interesting thought on TV last night.
