We've had a few fires in the fireplace so far this Autumn. Nice to just sit and listen to light jazz or classical music by firelight with my wife while the kids are in bed. No TV or other distractions.
The slow pace of weekday afternoons and evenings this time a year (due to the darkness and the inability to do outdoor projects) allows me to unwind from the frantic but fun pace of Summer. By March, cabin fever will have set in and I'll be dying to get out and do something, but for now, I am thoroughly enjoying doing nothing when I can. Miss my boat though.
