Already?

My family stopped by for a visit this weekend. We don't see them very much so it was nice to catch up with each other. I cannot believe that it is just a few weeks until Thanksgiving will be here. It seems like only yesterday we were celebrating the Fourth of July. Before I know it I will be spending the evening shoveling snow off the sidewalks and roof. My hope is that this winter will be milder than that winter. It seems like last year we were constantly dumped on by snowstorms. I really need a bit of time between storms to catch my breath. I can't imagine how elderly people manage to handle constant winter storms when they have no one to do their snow removal. We still need to get outdoors and mark some maple trees before all the leaves are completely gone. The plan is to try and make some maple syrup in the spring.
