It's been rainy, foggy, and dark since we returned from the Southern Hemisphere.

| Here with a diversity of mosses, ferns, etc.! |

| We saw wonderful lakes and hanging glaciers (here in Quelat National Park in Chilean Patagonia). |
Not unexpected, but a bit of a transition, too, as our last few days had been in warm Buenos Aires, and very long "summer" days were part of our entire trip.
But our days are now getting longer, and here in the Southern Appalachians and the foothills of the Blue Ridge mountains in the Piedmont, we have plenty of sunny, mild winter days, too. Hmm, I hope for some soon!
