Welcome to Snowtober



Thanks winter for coming around for Trick or Treat, NOT!  The whole "snow in October" sounded pretty and harmless, boy, was I wrong...


Even the insects felt the impending doom...
Miss Mantis here was channeling my emotions last night with the tree limbs cracking off the tree next to our house, and bedroom window, I chose to sleep in the safety of the living room sleeper sofa.

I have to admit, it did start out looking pretty...


It's all fun and games until the limbs start snapping off the trees, though.


Two positive things I learned about the whole experience:

1.  It pays to own your own candle company during an extended power outage.


2.  Snow makes an excellent natural reflector for portraits.  Amen.

  1. Lovely but I don't think the breaking trees is very fun! We don't ever get snow here so it would be nice!

  6. Oh your bug shots! Where is the head on that thing?? I love the shot of your son - he's so handsome and red pops on the white so well. Wonderful! I'm glad everyone seems to have power back finally! No more snow for a while I hope!
