The Diary
winterizing the hive
The weather has officially turned, not only are the nights in the 30s and 40s, now many of the days are seeing these lows. We have darkness at 4:00pm and snow could fall any day. We have had several fires in our living room fireplace, and I am burning candles in most of the rooms in our house. Pumpkin Spice is back on all the menus, the leaves are changing, there was apple and pumpkin picking and fall sweater weather photo shoots. Fall is a whole vibe for many people. It’s kind of crazy., but I get it.
