Boy, was it cold last night or what?  Weather folks were reporting this morning we got "a killing frost" overnight, and that was definitely so.  The nasty weather cleared out, though, and today was sunny.  Although I don't think we got much above 40 degrees, it was a lot more pleasant than the snow and rain showers we had during most of the weekend.  There have been some reports of accidents caused by black ice on the interstate, so it's time to gear up and slow down for winter driving. 

There isn't much news to report - in fact, things seem pretty quiet around the pond.  Most summer residents have gone, and the year around folks are fairly scattered - and pretty quiet.  Hunters are out, and when the weather was warmer, we heard gun shots from the direction of the pond, generally early in the morning.  They are going after ducks and maybe those pesky geese, I guess.  Or it could be rabbit hunters.  We've heard some dogs in the woods below our house from time to time - there's no mistaking the sound of hounds on the scent of a bunny.
