Winter!

Yesterday morning we awoke to the first real white frost of the winter.  It actually was a lovely, crisp, clear morning with the sun rising over the hills behind us ... and not a breath of wind.  As Yoda and I set out for our morning walk leaves were gently tumbling down, creating little carpets at the foot of the trees.

Interestingly, the Oaks which abound here in the Quercy, still have their leaves; perhaps they need a longer exposure to cold before they are affected.
