How do I know that winter is on its way? I could go by the calendar date or temperature. Day length is a clue, as are the seasonal foods. But none of these truly tells me that winter is almost here.

Seeing Luis pull on his bright red Union suit for the first time since the weather started warming up last spring tells me definitively that winter is just around the corner. Yes, my husband is a goofball who actually owns and sleeps in a Union suit. It cracks me up watching him button it up or seeing him lounging around the house in it.
