Last walk before bed.
Dogs raced off barking after a lingering musky fox trail up the garden&into woods.
Cold north winds blow,rustling the last leaves that still cling to their trees.
Stars glitter in a moonless sky. A star falls then another the annual Leonids meteor shower

It’s 4:30 on a November Sunday afternoon, outside temperatures are dropping. This calls for a Bailey’s hot chocolate, a comfortable chair, cozying up to the Aga with a good book and a pile of dogs on my lap.
