snow!

We've known it was coming. The weather people have been telling us we were going to get snow. 

But, we knew snow was imminent before the forecasts.  Every morning, we've had heavy frost.  Golden Eagles are arriving from up North. Flocks of geese are honking their way South.

The leaves are completely off the maples,

and Bruce has been frantically trying to get all the outside chores done before the first flakes start to fly.  We started up the wood furnace, and put all the outside furniture away.

and then, it happened. That first, magical snow that actually sticks!

Ok, ok... it wasn't much.  :(

but it's the beginning...

and a promise of beautiful days to come.
