In the end...

Summer came to an abrupt halt today.  Goodbye my dahlias, goodbye my tomatoes - I hardly got to know you this year, and goodbye my autumn - but only for this morning.  I know you will return again shortly.

But for right now, winter came to put all our world in a costume of white.  Guess he wanted to celebrate Halloween, too.  Can't think of anything scarier.

View from our back porch - grapevines along the fence.


My dahlias, poor things.
And this is just on the valley floor, away from the Lake Effect storms.  I feel for everyone living on the bench areas who have already had a couple of days of snow.

Sigh...I like the thought of snow, and snow when it is not cold out side, but not actual snow...

I have a couple of pictures of Grandma from a long time ago I will copy and send you soonish.

Aw sad! You had such beautiful flowers this summer! It looks like a beautiful winter wonderland in your backyard at least, right?! haha!
