		<description><![CDATA[A week ago, it was around 50 degrees&#8230;..in southern Michigan, in January.
I got all riled up about it.  Granted, it was hard to complain&#8230;.getting around without snow is so easy, less fuel use for heating, chickens laying in record numbers for this time of year, and digging in the garden as though it was October.  [...]]]></description>

So, to celebrate my morning walk with birds and cats, here are the first snow footprints that I found this morning:

		<description><![CDATA[Although today was nice and warmish, I am not fooled.  Frosty time has come again to Dragonwood.  I love frosty weather, and cannot, cannot, cannot help taking photos every time the frost appears, especially in the mornings when I go out to open up the chickens.

These last few weeks, the frosts have all been light, [...]]]></description>

It didn&#8217;t even go off my radar, get forgotten, nor did I take a deliberate break from it. I am a diarist at heart, and most days this fall when I&#8217;ve been in the garden, bringing in the harvest, or walking in nature, I have composed a blog post in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The garden&#8217;s a mess.  Torrential rains, followed by extreme heat, kept us back from some of the work we might have done to keep it tidy at crucial times.  Plants are sprawling all over each other, &#8220;rows&#8221; have run together, and some of the weeds are sky-high.
It doesn&#8217;t seem to be interfering with our harvests, [...]]]></description>

We were right there this morning when the hawks attacked.  A beautiful morning, my favorite kind of summer morning - cool, a slight mist, dew hanging on every stem and flower and spiderweb, rays from a low sun cutting through at a sharp angle.  P had just let the chickens out of the coop for [...]]]></description>

We don&#8217;t buy much at grocery stores.  In fact, I always feel a bit embarrassed by our cart, or actually, by our basket, since we rarely buy enough to need to roll the cart through the store.  It looks like a terrible diet - often some combination of baking supply, flour, sugar, chocolate, pasta, coffee, [...]]]></description>
