Winter in October

Yes, so … above was the forecast last Friday (10/23).

The forecast lived up to it’s name!

The “CLIMATE” section is interesting … I guess we’ll see. Last year, we had a winter storm in September and then Winter kind of pffhtt to not much Winter.

In preparation…

Sadly, the hanging baskets are compost … but the coleus and succulents are transitioning to inside homes. They are both so beautiful and healthy looking and hopefully I can keep them that way.

Dreaming, maybe … but I HOPE for a winter of good snow and snowshoeing!

Back to now.

October cold and snow.

Saturday midday Winter Wonderland!

Yes, that is one of the coleus plants!

And Emmett and Auggie … it is sunny outside, but VERY cold.

Meanwhile….

Despite a certain amount of interference/help/supervision …

The first three afghan squares are complete.

Just in time.

I received an email that the 2nd kit of the next three blocks is on its way.

While we wait…

Making peppermint marshmallows!!!

YUM…

October Winter calls for hot chocolate with peppermint marshmallows.

Don’t you agree???
