Clinging to Fall....

Mother Nature makes a different decision.

Final preparations for winter.

We are ready for the snow that's in our forecast.  Retired Mountain Man has been burning his brush piles.  Most of his dahlias have all been pruned, dug up, divided and marked for storage until next year. 

We have enjoyed some very beautiful fall colors in the early morning hours and the evenings.  It has been spectacular.

Here it is.  Our first snowfall.   There are still a few leaves clinging to our birch tree.
