This weekend I saw a sure sign of impending cold and snow.
It's not the sub- zero temperatures that I've been waking up to most mornings. Nor the fact that I've consequentially had to turn on the furnace in the house.

It's not that I've already had to wear thermal underwear, a winter coat, and a toque.

It's not that I've seen the flocks of Canada Geese making their way to their winter homes in the south of the continent, or that the hares that breed like, well, rabbits, and are found everywhere in the city, have started to change from brown to white coats.
It's not the fact that every horse I've seen seems to have a sprouted a ominously wooly coat - even the tb's that usually stay pretty sleek.
The sure sign of winter that was sighted this weekend -
my horses white tails have been cleaned and put up, not to be seen again until the spring.

It's been pretty balmy here so far. I am not looking forward to things freezing....
ReplyDeleteIt's been quite nice so far out here as well. Mind you, our only standard as to what qualifies as "nice" at this time of year is if there is snow on the ground or not! So far, no snow this fall!
