Changing Leaves, Changing Skin

The first frost arrived last night, which meant the furnace turned on for the first time this fall season. There was a dryness in the crisp morning air, forcing me to grab my fluffy blue "look like you gained 30 pounds" bathrobe and slippers. The roof over the garage had remnants of frost on it. The fuschia geraniums, which had been colorful summer decorations, looked limp this morning, attempting one last day in the sun before I rip them out.

Extra care was needed this morning on my skin. LaPrarie moisturizer and eye cream to the rescue: for added plumpness Cream de la Mer was gently tapped into creases and crevices. What would I do without these wonders? You don't want to know.
