More fables from Fence Road, in winter's grip, hibernation and Ice Bowls. I wrote in November that we were in the in-between times, that being in between fall and winter. But I recently learned that this period, January and February, have also been called the in-between times…because for a time those months did not exist.   Back in Roman times there wasn’t much people could do in this period, so they just didn’t count it. Their calendar was 10 lunar months ending in December

We figured Christmas Day might be a good day to fly – going West to visit our girls in the San Francisco Bay Area.
