Waking up the last couple of mornings I’ve been tempted to turn on the heat, then thought better of it. It’s simply too soon, as cold as it’s been in here. I’ll put on a good comforter and quickly turn on the little ceramic heater in the bathroom to take the chill off the room ahead of getting dressed in the mornings before starting my gas bill on it’s annual rise. I know that once that furnace is turned on, it’s giving up…admitting that nothing but ever colder weather is heading our way, and I just can’t do that. I’ll be adding a sweater to my daily attire for awhile before I’ll give in, cave in, and flip the switch to bring on the heat. Shoot….seems like summer was here and wasn’t it gone in a blink!

Watching the fish at the local Gardens, I know that soon those fish will be removed to someplace warmer and that water will be ice. Oh man…I hate to think that, even knowing the truth of it. Face it, we’re heading into my least favorite couple of seasons. Bummer!

Double Bummer!
