The snow has fallen, and fallen – and fallen here at my place. How deep? That deep. What was more than amusing was seeing the squirrels frantically digging down to the earth to get those glorious peanuts we put out yesterday. heh.
Score!!
My Home, My Garden.

Fall has altered the colors in my hydrangea, as well. The pale pink flowers are now deep raspberry, and the leaves are changing in a reptilian sort of way. Purdy.
I added this photograph to my prints collection, you can view the details here. This photo would really turn heads in a nice mat & frame, I think. I’ll be testing one in my own family room, of course.
I am going to miss my flowers.
I turned the heat on lastnight, for the first time, and I mourned the loss of summer. We’re expecting our first frost in the next few days.
I woke up this morning and put on a cozy warm fleece shirt. My nose is cold. My fingers are cold. My toes are cold, and I’ve had socks on for three days in a row. In another month, I’ll be buying bundles of stargazers to keep me from dropping off into a snowy cold depression from what appears to be a long winter coming.
I go through these transitions every season, a few weeks of “icks” and then it passes, after I’ve gotten all the summer clothes packed away, all the winter sweaters, jackets, coats and gloves washed and ready to go. I’ll get over it.
I’m just a spring and summer girl, that’s all. If I lived in a warmer climate, I’m certain I’d be happy all year.
