it was balmy



yesterday was balmy. this is unheard of for mid-november. a soft southerly wind bathed us in warmth. keith and abigail went down the bay and put plastic on the roof of the old cabin on the land uptop from our beach cabin (we hope to tear it down in the spring but keith didn't want it to cave in on itself over the winter). i stayed home and prepared the garden for winter - raked the rest of the leaves, cut down soggy or diseased leaves and stalks from the garden beds. wrapped the bushes in burlap to protect them from the weight of the snow. most years we're doing this in freezing weather because we've waited too long. yesterday was a holiday...
