A Rare Saturday

We don't often have a Saturday that isn't totally "spoken for" as far as our time is concerned.  Today was one of those.  We slept in, puttered around, fixed a few things, ran a couple non-mandatory errands and actually sort of took our time about it all.  Kind of felt good.

We woke up to this view out our stairwell window.  (The Husband actually tried to take a picture of this view last night when only the tulip lights were light, it really does catch one's eye at night.  Once again, a lesson in how the mind adds so much to what the eye sees, but the camera somehow doesn't.)  It was only a couple days ago that those two tri-color beeches were still covered in leaves.

It has snowed most of the day, enough to shovel and keep the temperatures low.  The furnace has been running seemingly non-stop.  It is, after all, November; I guess we should get used to it.

It isn't often that I can introduce The Husband to something new, whether it be an experience or a place.  So, when I can, I consider it somewhat of a coup.  I managed to do that today.  We stopped in at Costco for a polish dog (he had his with sauerkraut) and a chocolate frozen yogurt.  The two of us ate for less than $5.  What a deal!  We may be having more of those Costco meals as we find ourselves working hard at stretching those limited pennies.
