Aieee! Aieee!

Thanksgiving is still more than two weeks away. More things that I'm not ready for:

• I went to the hardware store on Sunday to get a set of Garden Hands for leaf clean-up. There were already half-a-dozen different Christmas trees on display.
  
• The neighbors already have Christmas lights up, on the shrubs in front of their house.
  
• It snowed last night. On my way to work this morning, there were places where the accumulation (less than an inch) was still visible.
