PRESENT CIRCUMSTANCE (PDF-1752)

Yesterday it was like Indian Summer here and today it is not. A little rain, some arctic air, and here we are right on the verge of frost. Winter will be a while yet, but the subpoena has been delivered. I got it. My first reaction today was to make a huge pot of vegetarian chili, with lots of celery in it. Being indoors all day is tough; closing the windows so air does not flow through the house is tougher. As they say, "The frost is on the pumpkin," well, almost anyway. We are bringing in the house plants. 

What follows is not an essay, but just some of my musings, so I hope they can be accepted for what they are. I have been thinking about this present moment.
