Early Snowfall

November First! 

Wow,where does the time go?

Today I take you back  a week or so,when we had a nice dusting of snow.

This kind of snow creates no problems,but makes for some pretty pictures.

A few leaves on the ground look so much prettier with a little snow on them.

The Mountain Ash often keeps most of it's leaves all winter. They look especially nice coated with snow.

I have said it before and will say it again. I am a kid at heart and get really excited with that first snowfall. I even turned on sone Christmas music.

Does this not look Christmasy? The red leaves of the Sumac and the white snow?

I am always thankful for the evergreens on my yard,but even more so when the snow falls. The boughs catch the snow and look so decorative.

The snow came a little early,so a few Maple leaves were still clinging to the branches.

Here you can see the falling snow in the background.

Of course the snow is all gone now,but it is only a matter of time before we will get more.The next snowfall may well stay with us for the remainder of the winter.That is alright with me,bring it on.

Thought for today:

You'll find when you smile,

Your day will be brighter,

And all of your burdens

Will seem so much lighter.
