that would be winter

---------------------

Another partly sunny 40 degree day!  In this picture, you can see the slush forming in front of the Au Train Grocery.  Very impressive icicles!

"I need some dark glasses," I said, looking out the kitchen window.  "Everything looks bleak to me.  Burned out.  Like we've recently been bombed.  Or we're recovering from being bombed ten years ago."

"That would be winter coming," Jewel said.
