Sweetfern, Comptonia peregrina, is neither sweet nor a fern. It looks like something the dinosaurs would have walked through, releasing the warmest, spiciest aromas of imagination.
Water buckets have been freezing solid, day and night. Pretty harsh for this early in the season, but a good reminder to organize now to try to make chores easier through the winter. That sunset was a stunner - glad I had my camera in my pocket when I came out of the grocery store! I stopped pushing the cart and took a few snaps; seconds later it was over. A gift!
No fresh snow this week, just bitterly cold temps, day after day. There's a rumor of a warm-up early next week - fingers crossed! Fence posts to drive...

Beautiful! I see the ice... I guess that winter is there. The sky looks foreboding but dramatically beautiful!

Did you get snow? It sure looks like that sky was hinting at some.
