We’re getting the first snowfall of the year. The wind is blowing. Big snowflakes are falling. The maple has lost most of its leaves (they’re now in the neighbor’s yard) so there’s a broader view of the moutains. I’ve been domestic lately, baking, cooking. Last night I even carved a pumpkin alone in my kitchen. It took about an hour….     It looks fine, but I didn’t have a candle to light it. I’ll get one today.
