A week ago it was cold but clear for a walk by the harbour. Migrating ducks ---- what kind? Beginner skaters --- what age? Workers clearing reno debris at night--- what took them so long??
Barges push by with loads of fill and come back empty --- where was it dumped? A local park still trembles with roses. And just like home --- a mouse in the lobby! No animals were harmed in the making of this blog.
But a daytrip to Kemble reminded that winter is near. A crunchy trudge up the hill. Checking up on the hibernating house, and bringing down our pure drinking water. First snow on the deck and among the trees. Pretty, but you wouldn't want to be there all winter!
So back to the Quay. A shout-out to the girl who can cook, clean, and --- sew! And then this morning our first snowfall in the city. Even the boats that are white get whiter. Dog walkers and joggers slip and slide. Bring it on, we're ready this time...
