| Well, despite the best of intentions to sleep in this morning, the circadian rhythm of my body refused to allow me to stay in bed any longer and I got up.
Biggest surprise was the discovery that there had been a hellish (odd turn of phrase) frost overnight and though the outdoor taps (faucets) hadn't apparently frozen, there was a powdery white coating on all the neighborhood roofs and on the leaves still lying in the garden. I took a look at the cars and they too were well frosted! The thermometer needle sat on 0'c (30'f) - I don't think I could stomach going outdoors and raking leaves just yet.
My phone was filled with text messages of Happy Thanksgiving messages so that was good, i guess!
I was tempted to give Charles a call and find out what was what but I think I will hold off until we hear from Eugene's brother.
Just looking out the windows now, the fog that was thick an heavy earlier this morning has moved off into the distance. It is likely to be a brisk but clear day - the perfect PNW Winter's day!
