Five Inches of New Snow

 
 
 Doc is using the new shovel for the first time.  He approves!

 
 
 
 
It is a totally gorgeous winter wonderland! Too bad my camera is trying to die.

Life at the Barn

 It's been chilly and we love our wool socks.  His bumble bee or Hawkeye socks are new.

 Doc is canning pizza sauce.

Strong winds that lasted 36 hours have totally removed all the Catalpa leaves.

Doc is making lots of votive candles for the evening relaxation hours after work.

Quick Melt, Huge Leaf Dump

 
 
 
 
It was bitter cold this morning and the snow was blowing........... 23 degrees but felt like 15. My early walk was very short, less than 3/4 mile.

My longer walk was barely after noon and most of the snow was gone.  However, huge piles of leaves were everywhere. Many had not even been given a change to turn yellow or red or brown!

Snow from Storm Aubrey

 
 
 
 
 It is a perfect snowy day with lots of Hygge and together time. 

 
 

Knitting with Baby Sakora

 Some of us were knitting and crocheting..................

 Lorraine snagged the adorable 2 1/2 month old.  She was so comfy in those arms!

 Mom and Grandma stayed close; you can barely see a blond head of grandson, Ralph.

This was a GREAT morning at Panera, knitting and catching up with friends.

Before Storm Aubrey

 We reached 80 degrees and 7% humidity this afternoon.  That will change soon.

 
 
 
Say goodbye to the last of the Cosmos!

Winterizing Gardens; Fall

 It's looking pretty bare.

 Mornings and evenings are so chilly.

Leaves are beginning to change colors.  A frost warning is tonight and snow is predicted for Thursday.
