Hello Friends! I'm so sorry I've been among the missing. Life has been hectic around here. But, today was the beginning of winter here in Iowa!! We were not to get very much, so I wasn't worried about it. However, in the night (or very early morning hours) we got some 'thunder snow'. The wind and the temperatures have been so different than what we've been use to. We're back to having wind chills.. brrrr.. Obviously, I didn't leave the house..smile... But with those high winds and heavy snow on the trees, I have a few limbs down in the yard. We only got about an inch of snow, but the winds really don't help...
This was out front of the house, as the day went by, there was a little melting.
I noticed the neighbors tree still has some leaves hanging on...I'm sure this will end what life they have left in them and they will fall to the ground very soon.
It was pretty to look at, but sure let everyone know...it's time for a change. We've been so lucky. Up until yesterday afternoon, I've had windows either open or at least cracked a little bit. But as the temps dropped last night, I knew it was time to close them for the year! My son, came over yesterday and shut the electric to the air conditioner off and got it covered up. I really am glad I don't have to run it anymore though...smile...
I baked a few cookies today, that not only made the house smell amazingly yummy, but the oven warmed it up in here.
Tomorrow my daughter, her husband and my granddaughter are heading to Iowa from Georgia!! They will be here all next week!! I'm so excited, I can hardly stand it!!! I know it will go by fast, so must savor every minute!!!
I would appreciate your good thoughts and prayers for my sister in law as she continues to fight her battle with cancer. This will be a difficult time for her...
Off to bed, tomorrow is another day (without snow) I hope... Tell me what kind of weather you have been having...
