When Fall Meets Winter



A couple of weeks ago we had some frost filled mornings.
Then it snowed.
At the time, a lot of the trees and shrubs hadn't lost their leaves yet.
Now, two weeks later, most tress have since lost their leaves and the snow has long ago melted.
But this is what things looked like when fall met winter.













Within days after Halloween the snow fell.
Covering our poor little jack-o-lanterns.

It's here! It's really here!


I'm still having a difficult time believing it's April.
And to think the month is almost over, it's the 24th for heaven's sake.
But every time I see the date, I do a double take.
I think "April? It's April? No, feels more like December".


Why just yesterday morning we woke up to yet another blanketing of snow.
It was beautiful and appalling all at once.


I couldn't help but think that everything must be confused.
From maple buds to birds.
They're probably wondering the same thing "Is it April"?


I made my way through the yard yesterday morning, camera in hand, 
chronicling the new snow.
Just then a flock of seagulls flew overhead.
Now there's a strange sight, seagulls and snow covered branches?
They just don't belong together.


One might think this could be seaside, someplace warm, waves splashing and sand underfoot.
If only that snow drenched tree wasn't peeking up toward the sky. 
If only the temperature wasn't 20 degrees below normal.
This could have been another scene all together, but no.


I have faith though.
I'm going out on a limb to say that this last blast of snow, was winter's final hurrah.
Spring will set in, literally overnight.
With warm temperatures finally predicted for this weekend, snowfall will be a memory.
Green will cloak lawns, trees and gardens in no time.
It's here! It's really here!

Hello Monday!



Hello Monday!
There's no cheerful 'hellos' for this week. Things are dismal around here. 
My spirit is literally being crushed by the lack of spring and I'm guilty of being a crabby downer lately.


Hello more dreary weather. Winter is not letting up.
Hello being cooped up indoors.


Hello rain/snow mix. More predicted this week. Aren't we lucky!
Hello trying to find some ambition. It's difficult to find when the sun doesn't shine.
Hello to the hope that that next week brings some happier 'hellos'! There's always a chance for some sun in the future. :)

Hello Monday!


Hello Monday!

Hello getting back to our normal routine after being on spring break last week.
Hello more falling, blowing and drifting snow, that I wish I was saying goodbye to instead.
Hello first day of spring this Wednesday. Warmer weather is just around the corner.
Hello starting some winter sowing sometime this week. I'm a bit behind but it's not too late.
Hello volunteering in my kindergartener's class midweek. It's one of my very favorite things to do!

Welcome January


Happy 2013!!!
I can't believe it's already here.
Wishing you all a blessed New Year!


Along with a new year, comes a new month and a chance to welcome all the change that it can bring.


Welcome January!
Welcome to a new year full of promise and possibility.
Welcome to healthy days. I'm tired of one or more of us feeling 'under the weather'.


Welcome to more winter. I'm not weary of it yet, that'll probably come in another month or so.
Welcome to turning a year older near the end of the month. I'm welcoming 40 wholeheartedly and ready for the milestone!
Welcome to the feeling of inspiration and the chance to start fresh. I love this time of year!

CHEERS TO YOU ALL!!!
TO A NEW YEAR FULL OF ALL YOUR DREAMS COMING TRUE!
What are your wishes for the new year?

Hello Monday!



Hello Monday!

Hello snow, more than 12 inches of fresh and fluffy white stuff fell over the weekend.




Hello shoveling, clearing off walkways, driveways, decks and porches.

Hello white Christmas, don't think it'll all melt before then! :)




Hello Christmas cards, finishing and sending ours this week, love having received some in the mail already.

Hello Christmas shopping, haven't made a dent yet, I better get moving!

Wishing you all a wonderful week ahead.
