As the rising sun peeks at the world from behind the shrubs and the garden shed onto the frosty lawn, we are reminded that we are about to embark on another season of cold. In view of all the turmoil that is taking place in our world, I thought of a quote from J.R.R. Tolkien that I have saved:
"Yet it is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succor of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule."
The other quote that I saved: "It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him."
Just a couple of thoughts for you to consider today.

The Time of Frost is Here!
