Theoretically today is a big deal day, all 12 – 12 – 12, and what not.  Here at Totem Hall, the rains came and came.  It is that particularly cold late fall day that only the South can produce, damp and grey.  It also reminds me that I need to send in my L.L. Bean duck boots for repair.

My memorable project for the big 12 – 12 – 12 is to construct a weather station so that I can know exactly just how cold and damp, or, come summer, just how hot and dry, I really am.  Well, that and I need to write a dozen or so thank you notes before the day is out for a birthday not too past.

winter flowers in all their glory, both faded and prime…

Given the outside gloom, I thought I might add a picture of a flower or two, all fall/winter blooms.  A gentle reminder that, yes, down south we do get colors during the shortest of months.
