Beautiful Day

Good morning from the Underground Bunker.  It is November 19, 2011 at 0900 hrs.What a beautiful morning it is here in Upstate New York.  Turned on the coffee pot and I can start to smell the sweet aroma of the dark roast coffee in the air.  I look out my kitchen window and condensation builds when my warm breath confronts the cold glass.  I could almost feel the cold crisp November morning air from inside my cozy little nest here in the mountains. 
The squirrels and chipmunks are hard at work getting their nuts and preparing for the harsh winter that awaits us here every year.  I wonder if chipmunks and squirrels down south have the same work ethic?  Anyway the leaves on the Japanese Maple tree in my back yard are almost all gone.  Yes winter is approaching!  Soon there will be only snow on the ground.  Do I yearn for it?...No! But it sure is beautiful the first few times it snows.  Have a good day and stay safe out there!
