"There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
-Hamlet, Act One, Scene Five
This above all: to thine ownself be true, And it must follow, as the night the day, Thou canst not then be false to any man.” - (again with the Hamlet)
And we are threatened with our first chance of snow, as well as the first frost. It's come close to freezing before now (34F twice) but not quite made it. The year has turned, all right: chickadees and titmouse on the feeders yesterday.
Mary Anne, it hasn't been anywhere near as cold as it normally is this time of year. It's odd. but I've seen juncos in the yard and the occasional woodpecker at the feeder. Signs to be sure.
Happy Samhain, cousin. (Not sure if that is the proper greeting, but you get the drift.) The weather has definitely turned here. It is officially mud season. That happens just before frozen season.

I learned that Samhain (pronounced SOW-win) marks the beginning of the darker part of the year and is a Gaelic festival. Love your spooky picture! :-)
