Ugh.
This has been the ugliest, most depressing autumn I can remember. I usually love this time of year with the bright colors and sunny, crisp days.
Not this year.
Many of the leaves on the trees in our back yard are black and shriveled. We had a hard freeze before anything had the chance to turn color. Everything else is in drab shades of brown or dark yellow. It's been cold and gray and cloudy and rainy (or snowy) almost every day since the beginning of October.
I feel like I've stepped into a Tim Burton movie.
Beth is sick, the kids have had colds and we are all getting stir-crazy from being inside so much. Can one have cabin fever in mid-October? It's going to be a long, long winter.
At least the Vikings are winning.
