When I awoke this morning, I went about my daily routine around the house and per usual I looked out the front window to check out the weather.
The birdbath that sits in our front garden was iced over as expected this past week or two but there was something different? It was as if someone had stolen into our yard and sprinkled powdered detergent into the bird bath? Who would do such a thing? Then I said to myself, "that isn't what that is", so I began to scan the scene more closely........
I glimpsed at the front deck and sure enough the white powder was there too.
I grabbed my camera and headed for the door but immediately thought...."if it is snow then it is cold out" so I donned my winter jacket, scarf and gloves then proceeded out to take pictures.
Snow flakes were floating in the air. What we here in New England consider SNISH (a snow shower) or as my mom calls it a spit of snow.
My car had snow on it, just a dusting, the edges of the grass had a distinct area covered in the white stuff and the gardens still adorned in late fall green and browns were sprinkled with the white powder.
This was my reminder to get the remainder of the lawn furniture in, rake the remaining leaves, take in the garden ornaments and prepare for winter in New Hampshire.
We just never know, here in New Hampshire, how the weather will be from one day to the next never mind from one season to another. Some years we get a lot of snow and others just a few inches here and there.
I think that is a great part of the beauty of living in New England. We just never know what to expect so we try to be ready for anything. It tends to make us a hardy bunch. We can roll with the punches.
I am primed for our first substantial snowfall now. I have a long "to do" list for the day so I better get started. Winter is coming and snow is in the air. Have a great day:)
