Winter has arrived!

The 3 inches of slushy snow we got the day before Thanksgiving has melted, but it is a cold rainy day here. Mom and I checked the house (Mom from the car: checking the 'new front lawn'). All's well. I watered the plants (left water bottles to use next time), the oil tank is low, but when I talked to the oil man (he came to our house for a water heater estimate!), he said he planned to go down soon. Jolly fellow. I took the garbage from the green garbage can home, the recycle bin I left alone. Happy Christmas season!
