Fog

Carl Sandburg, the poet, once wrote a poem that said in the first line "THE fog comes on little cat feet". Well the fog moved in on us last night and it is really dense. Water is dripping off everything outside. It sounds like rain lightly falling on the roof of the garage. The grass and flowers can surely use the moisture. We did get a bit of rain early last evening and that will help the corn fill in the ears. It is too early for frost yet and the farmers are hoping we won't have an early frost. But with the cold night temperatures, things are not looking good. It could be an early winter in the midwest. I read that the Farmers Almanac said it would be a "numbing" winter. That isn't good with the prices of heating your home and they just sent us a notice with our last bill that everything would be going up again. We are thankful, though, for a warm home.
