Fall?.... Winter?... Depends on the day!

Hello from the frozen north (depending on where you are in comparison to me)... quite a few of you are probably north of me, but I liked the sound of the greeting!  I haven't heard an official snow fall total for today, but according to the height of the snow when I was walking through it, I'd say we got a good thigh high snow fall today (interpretation:  about 10 inches).

Nothing changed because of the weather, school was still on, Dad still went to work, the only difference for me was the crazy amount of clothing I had to wear - it took some coaxing before I realized that I could in fact walk in my boots in the snow.

Today was a big change from Monday when we had an 80 degree record high.  They say we should be back to regular Fall weather by Friday.  Until then, I am enjoying playing in the snow with Boscoe!

Here are some pictures from the last week, enjoy:

We plan to carve these before the weekend... for now, they look good with their snow hats on!

"Walking in a Winter Wonderland"

I don't think the tomatoes survived the storm... oh well, I don't think they had survived Mom's experimental gardening before this happened!

Boscoe loves the snow... he had quite a time finding his ball each time we threw it.

I was happy that I could still ride my bike in this weather thanks to the covered patio.

I love the contrast between the white and the orange of the leaves.

Everytime I tried to wipe it off, it would get worse!

Changing gears to last Friday - visited a pumpkin patch

Can't wait to pick out my favorite pumpkin!

"Guys! I think this one looks good!"

Just us pumpkins!

Come on guys, I gotcha.

Good Donkey.

This one was great, except for the fact that it would soon be dropped - don't worry, it survived and is currently coved in snow on the front doorstep.

There you have it, winter and fall all wrapped into one blog. 

I have been having a ton of fun at school lately and look forward to dressing up in costume for school the next two days.  I'll try to get some pictures of that as well.

That's all for now...

Love,
Lydia
