It’s getting chilly around here, so the other day I decided I needed to get ready for winter. How did I do this? I washed all my scarfs – or at least all the scarfs that have bright colors – to get the dust off of them. I still have my down coat and some dark scarfs to take care of, but that will be a project for one of the next few days. Another project I need to look into is getting a new pair of gloves or mittens. Fortunately, after a couple of really nasty, cold and rainy days the weather has decided to become a little more cordial again – with lots of sunshine and pleasant temperatures. And today, for the first time, the radiators in my apartment have kicked in and I was able to do without my little friend the Space Heater. So, with all the preparations made, I think: Winter can come!
