As you might imagine, northern Wisconsin is cold and white just now, and it seems I am constantly hungry for soups and stews and roasted vegetables and savory meats.The wind comes whipping off the bay and the river, causing the new fallen snow to whip around in little eddies and vortexes. It was bitter cold when I went shopping yesterday in a neighboring town. I joined a group of carolers, many of whom were friends, at a local bookstore. It's been years since I have sung those songs (except in the shower and around the kitchen) and while my voice is still strong, I seem to hit a lot of sour notes. Oh well. It was fun anyway.
I have done only the basics to prepare my own backyard for winter. There are still signs of summer and fall, covered now with snow.
The change of seasons is the one constant in our lives right now.

It does look like winter there Mimi. Your caroling sounds like so much fun, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself. I've been doing a lot of comfort food lately too. And eating alot. Shhhh!!
Yeah, me too. Eating more than I should. I am sometimes able to lose weight over the holidays, though. A lot of this might be stress eating...
Oh Mimi, I have also been eating more lately and it's in the 40's here, so what am I to do when winter really hits? Yikes!
The caroling sounds like a lot of fun too.
It was fun, Eileen, and we might do it again.
The 40s! A heat wave for sure!
It looks like you're getting ready for a Currier and Ives winter. Caroling is great fun if you can stay warm. For what it's worth and working on the premise that misery loves company, my voice has also changed as I've gotten older. Nothing is forever! I hope you get to carol again.
It looks and sounds very cold there Mimi, winter has arrived. Its very pretty though.
The pots on your deck look like cakes with frosting on them.
Fiona.
Oh my gosh Mimi , it looks so cold!
Mary, it feels like Currier & Ives in my neighborhood alright, because of all the old houses and parks.
Fi and Lady Jickey, how warm is it Down Under today?
Well its a little cooler today . Shall be 22c and they say we will get some rain but I am not holding my breath. We really need it.
I can recall hearing about Decembers when it was stiffling here - I have relatives near Sydney...
For several days now Auckland has been wet and windy. Though our temps are still in the 70's.
Fi, I will trade...
