When was the above picture taken? This past March perhaps? No. This morning! I'm used to having snow from November-April. Usually it starts shortly after Halloween and we settle in for the winter. Six months of snow is bad enough, but yesterday I received the shock of the year when it started blizzarding sideways around supper time. In the afternoon the temps were in the 40s (cold enough) and the kids and I played in our winter gear in the park. There was a dark blue cloud on the horizon and I assumed that meant rain was coming. Nope. We were in for a good old fashioned snowstorm- nine days into October! Not only did it snow, but it actually accumulated. We were going to the pumpkin patch today, but I'm thinking any pumpkins left are probably mush right now. I brought in the pumpkins we did have from the garage so they wouldn't freeze.
This morning the temp was 20 degrees when I got up. I'm so not ready for this yet. The boys, however, were very excited to go outside for a romp. Where was my husband during all this time? Tent camping! He wanted to take the boys with him, and I nixed that idea when I heard the temps were going to get close to the teens during the night. I'm so thankful I insisted that they stay home.
