Wintry Mix... I Miss Fall!

Winter is here. It came in rather rudely, with slippery sleet as well as four inches of snow. We stayed home. There were reports of impassable roads and vehicles sliding into ditches. Frank cancelled a medical appointment. The power flickered but did not go out here, although many people in surrounding areas were not so fortunate. 


I did not want autumn to end. It had a late start. But I cannot complain too much because we are so much better off than all the people in California who suffered from the wildfires this week. Marie could smell the smoke from where she lives, but fortunately she had vacation scheduled and left California last night.

Time got away from me today so I am blogging late. I wanted to share a fence for Gosia's Linkup. The photo is from Skyline Drive a few weeks ago, as is the second one showing two tourists at an overlook.

  2. Hello, we had our first snow yesterday too. 4-6 inches of the wet heavy stuff. I like the last Shenandoah photo. Happy Friday, enjoy your day and weekend!

  4. That first photo looks so sad. We have ice and snow here too. Autumn was late in arriving and early in leaving also. We barely had time to notice it, let alone enjoy it, it came and went so fast. Still, I agree, we have no right to complain considering how it is for others. Hope you have a nice weekend.

  6. The tourists at the overlook shot has the feel of the 'edge of the world'.

    It's snowing here today- apparently the school board cancelled buses, the first time I can recall that happening in November.

  7. Tough to give up the warm, it comes and goes a few times here before leaving for 5 months
