Winter is coming...part 2

In my October 27 post, I stated that the sighting of a Dark-eyed Junco was an indicator to me that winter would soon be arriving. The second sign of winter’s arrival was here yesterday, as Char and I covered the Miata for the year. Sunday was a very nice day, with a high temperature of about 57 degrees, so Char put the top down and took it for one last ride. It was a good day to cover it, too, since the car was dry. I don’t like to cover it when it’s wet, and the forecast (correctly) called for rain today.

We don’t run the Miata (and have reduced insurance coverage on it) during December, January, and February. So, conversely, around March 1, when we uncover it again, that will be the sign that spring is just around the corner. That’s a much more enjoyable time of the year.

Char stands next to the "wrapped for winter" Miata. It will be unwrapped again around March 1.
