Hey JR, did your corn reach maturity yet? Record cold tonight. Is this a sign of things to come? I hope I got enough firewood!

It's funny how Winter comes every year, but so many people act surprised when it does. I actually like the changing seasons. Winter used to be my favorite season of the year, then it fell out of favor with me for a long time. Now it's kind of coming back into favor again. I still don't like plowing snow, but we don't normally get a lot of snow anymore. I do like puttering with the stove and cutting firewood. And then putting all my hard work/firewood to use.
