Early Snow


Our decision to go to the property late Saturday was partially based on curiosity.  Snow late this week was the earliest in the season our family has seen snow ever.  We were curious what the property looked like after an early snow.  What we found was very impressive.  Many trees still had colorful leaves which contrasted nicely to the white now.  And, our jack-o-lanterns survived without aggression by squirrel, deer, or bear.

Sunday I walked for the first time to the nearby deli, about a mile away.  It was a good walk dotted with points of interest like a tree fallen in the river, another tree laying on a sagging power line, and a friendly neighbor asking whether our cable TV was out.  I easily convinced him that we do not have cable, but was not so successful at diagnosing his cable trouble.

The family enjoyed a spaghetti dinner before returning late on Sunday.
