When someone asks about first snow it seems so long ago this blanket caught our Autumn by surprise. Russets and golds had things to say to those willing to stay and listen.

Very pretty, and better you than me! I know the dogs adore it, though! Meanwhile, down here in Southwest Florida we’re having a cold snap with days in the high 50s/Low 60sF and in the 40s at night. Brrrr! Next Sunday we return to the low 80s, much more typical here.

Those russets are striking with the snow. In Maine, we, too, have a wintery landscape.
