White Wednesday

We Got Snow

only 1/2" but that is enough for us

It started snowing around 8 am Thursday morning and snowed all day. We finally had about 1/2" by the end of the day with snow flurries all day Friday and Saturday. We might have ended up with maybe 1" by Sunday morning. Everything looked so beautifully pristine white. After an extremely cold past 10 days we are starting to warm up again and the snow will disappear hopefully until next year.

Fall Gates & Leaves

Fall is so beautiful this year. With all the rain and the cooler temps the leaves are almost falling before they can turn colors. I think we have had better color this year than in the last several.

entry gate I seen in Springfield yesterday afternoon

it looked as lopsided as the picture

fancy entry gate to side door of a Springfield home, they also had a massive gate to match for their parking area which was open and I couldn't get a picture of

Bunnies & Crape Myrtles

I think we probably have at least 1 of every color of crape myrtle we can find. Here are some early bloomers:
