Winter is coming to the San Francisco Bay Area! At the time of this writing, we're experiencing several days of rain from an atmospheric river. The temperature ranges from the mid-50's by day to mid-40's by night (bone chilling when mixed with our marine fog). The days seem short and dark comes early. The afternoon light is golden and slanted, and the fleeting sunsets are spectacular. Mushrooms are glorious this year - pushing up through the wood chips after any passing rain.

Thoughts turn to inside projects and pastimes, holiday preparations, and festive gatherings with vaccinated caution (or memories of parties from the past). Winter is also a great time to hibernate with a good book, an entertaining movie, or music. Enjoy a few months of cozy winter evenings, and rest up from a year of labor. The garden "slumbers" and so should we!
