Right On The Mark

The weatherman was right on with his weather
prediction and white coat last evening.  He said we'd
get 1-3 inches of snow and we have a couple of inches
already.

Last evening when it started snowing lightly (about
10:30 p.m.) I could hear squeals and laughter outside
my front window.  As I peeked out I saw a group of
girls from the neighborhood playing out in the street
trying to catch snowflakes on their tongues.  They
were having so much fun.  Made me wish I was
young again and could just enjoy such a simple thing
without giving thought to getting up in the morning and
driving to work in the snow or even having to shovel
my drive or thinking about the cold temperatures.

As I glance out my window it has started to snow
again and the snow is drifting down in the form of
large fluffy flakes.  It is really pretty---especially
since I'm indoors.

Most of the trees have not dropped their leaves yet
and are laden down with the snow.

My neighbors "red" leaves look so pretty with the
snow clinging to them.
















I am going to have to brush the snow off the vines
on my arbor.  My burning bush and mums are
totally covered so I guess I'll need to trim them
back as it warms up later this week.  They have
been so pretty.

So grateful my SIL came last evening and mowed
my lawn picking up many of the leaves that had
fallen or blown down with the wind that brought
in this storm.

Wonder if there is enough snow to build a
snowman!  Maybe the grandkids would like to
come play with Grandma.  LOL

Must remember to change my clocks tonight.
My smoke alarm went off about midnight a couple
of days ago (scaring me to death!) reminding me
it was time to change the battery.  So with a new
battery and an extra hour of sleep I should be in
good shape!

Take care,

Nola
