Saturday Photo: Winter Is Here, Said Hamilton Duck

This what the windows looked like early this week, and this morning Lee had to move about 10 cm of very heavy wet snow.  It's warmer, but there is no doubt that winter has arrived well before its calendar date.

Reminds me of a book the kids liked when they were little.  Called Hamilton Duck, it featured a big white duck who found his pond ice covered one morning.  "Duck, who was wise, said 'Winter is here.'"  And it certainly is.

Not happy about the early snow, because cycling is so much easier for me than walking (arthritis) though of course I walk daily when I can't cycle...

A great little walking and neighbourhood improvement story from the Netherlands. And of course Dutch people walk at least as much as they cycle.

Eyes on the street!

And yes, some good outcomes in the US mid-terms...
