The Heat is On

The temperature has dropped to 39F, with the minute but forecast possibility of some non-sticking snow showers on Saturday.  Which means we've turned the heat on, after quickly clearing the radiators of toys and costumes and pillows.  The comforting familiarity of water wooshing through the rattling radiators has just begun; the once-a-year odor of burning dust will soon begin.  I love this warm sweater, wool socks, yarn craft, hot chocolate, big pot of soup, extra blanket time of year.
