Seasons

When I got back from Denver, the weather just kept getting colder.  November after all and I had to get my gloves out.

One morning while we were out walking, I picked up this absolutely huge leaf.   A neighbor was out, (before 7am!) raking and could tell me it was from a hickory tree. (Correction: a horse chestnut tree.) The wax paper is almost 12 inches across so it really is a very big leaf.

The next day we had snow.

Min was not too excited about it but did the usual dog thing of eating the snow off the deck.  Truly, there was no joyous frolicking about by either of us.
