Under My Shoes

Here's what the last few days have looked like.

October 17

I was walking around getting my 17th photos, when the leaves under my boots started begging for attention.  

October 22

We called this weather phenomenon "leaf fall."  The leaves were literally falling in a steady stream from the trees overhead.  It was after the first night of frosty temperatures and my conjecture is that it triggered something that finally caused all the leaves to be cut off from the branches nutrition.

See, it was like snowdrifts, only leaves instead!  These are my dirty work shoes; I was on my way to do some landscaping.

We were blown away.  This came out of the blue.  Last night, the storm began before bedtime and everyone who woke up in the middle of the night kept checking to see if it was still snowing or had melted away.  It stuck!

Cold feet . . . does that mean I have a warm heart?  Ha, my family would inform you otherwise . . .

Moving on,

I built my first snowman!  Half size, at least.  The snow was perfect for packing. Isn't he handsome?

Just getting you in the mood for Christmas, a few months early . . . that's not a problem, right?
