Today I woke up, opened my curtain and was greeted by a light skiff of snow covering the stables. There's nothing quite like the very first snowfall. It all melted by midday but it is a promise of more to come and it really won't come soon enough. The snow put me in a good mood and so far the day has been good, only to get better tonight~

All of our armor repairs have been finished, the village's harvests have all been gotten in and their buildings repaired and insulated. Laurie is making cider with the apple harvest and in the cellar there are several bushels of fresh apples. *Planning on getting some later* Next week, my men and I are going out hunting to get fur to replace the furs in our coats and to get meat for preserving. Generally we hunt when we need to but Laurie likes to have a good store of preserved meat as well. I've been craving fish but none of us are really fish catching types, so I'll leave that to Laurie's bartering skills.

I have the feeling it's going to be a very long, dark winter.
