Wrong: we've since had a fairly major storm (for November). unfortunately, I have negotiate a fair drive later today — sans snow tires.
On Tuesday, we arrived home late in the afternoon but decided to clear out the garage anyway. There wasn't much left to do: take the bikes downstairs and put some stuff up in the rafters.
Right: because the car (Harriet the Chariot) spent her first night in about seven months in the garage, and it snowed that night for the first time (apart from three isolated flakes days earlier).
On Thursday night we enjoyed (yeah sure) our first major winter dumping.
Right: Harriet was back in garage all snug and safe.
On Friday my in-laws drove the bad roads from Toronto (partly because they were smart enough to purchase and install new snow tires).
Right on: because they're not just relatives but friends.
On Saturday morning there was still plenty of snow, and it was still falling — gently by then.
Right: I was able to go for a walk and photo shoot in the woods with my BIL and niece. In the freshly fallen snow. Me with two wonderful
Right on: and this is a pretty good result, doncha think?
Wrong: as nice and pretty as the snow is, it's rather early for our street to look like this. I mean, it's still officially autumn. Sure it is.
Now, it's almost 1:00 AM, and I have a big day tomorrow, so I'm going to bed.
Right.
What great photos, AC! You sure have a knack for picture-taking. Of course, the area has to cooperate by being gorgeous, as well, which it seems it has.
ReplyDeleteA safe trip to you. Wish those snow-tires were on...
Lovely pics!
ReplyDeleteWe've only gotten a light sprinkling of snow so far. Still waiting for the skies to dump. Fortunately, the car has already made its way into the garage.
I started out reading this post thinking "and THAT'S why I'm on vacation in San Diego" and ended up thinking "and THAT'S why I live in the midwest." Thanks for getting me a little excited for winter. catherine
ReplyDeleteYou are going to have to change that fall template sooner rather than later. Lovely winter pictures. What a good looking couple!
ReplyDeleteJuncle! We had such a great time in your neck of the woods - thanks for giving me a Christmas in Canada... the roast of christmas past. Mmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteMuch love ... Sneice xox
Too early I agree but pretty I agree. Pretty little berries. We got our snow tires on just in time.
ReplyDeleteGosh. That almost makes me look forward to snow. "Almost".
ReplyDeleteLovely pictures. Lovely people.
snow, schmow---I need your niece's boots.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos, AC, they have such clarity. I particularly like the berries. I also like the one of your lovely niece and BIL in the snowy woods. I'll take her bag and his hat, thank you!
ReplyDeleteLove the snow pics! We've had only a dusting. Not even enough to qualify as snow.
ReplyDeleteWell...now I know I'm getting old. I get cold just viewing those great pictures. We had rain today, thank goodness, but still it remains in the 60's. I guess I'm getting to be a wimp.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos!! I find myself a little jealous - we can't even get rain, much less snow. ec
ReplyDeleteNo matter how much I dread the winter.. there is still something special about the first snowfall. Lovely photos.
