Autumn falls upon us

The colour is fading from the land, it won't be long before things are blanketed in white. Yesterday brought slushy snowflakes and there was ice on the puddles. The barge has still not arrived - hopefully everyones cans are keeping warm. I'm sure people are feeling nervous about it. Its due in this weekend - so here is hoping. The temperatures are hovering above zero, I think, for the rest of the week. Sadly, the cloud cover has kept us from seeing some northern lights, but the sun seems consistantly more active than my first couple of years here.

I can't believe that October is almost here - it seems yesterday I was scrambling to pack in August. Time is an ever-marching soldier and it doesn't stop for anything - not to admire a fleeting sunset or to give us an extra hour of sleep. So before I know it - November will be here. Crazy world isn't it!
