And Just Like That...Autumn seems over!

Last week Western North Carolina was experiencing perfect autumn weather...afternoons in the high 60s, low 70s and the evenings in the 40s. Thanks to Sandy, that changed in a matter of hours. There are still fall colored leaves peeking through the snow flurries which is unusual. Normally, all of the leaves would have dropped by the time we get the first snowfall.

This photo was taken just a couple of hours ago.

Our AR friends in the states hardest hit by Sandy remain on our minds. Knowing that many areas are without power, I wish these friends could know that we are all thinking about them and wishing them and their neighbors the very best to get through the challenge of the storm and its aftermath.

Mona, we went from beautiful trees full of colorful leaves to bare trees and soggy ground. Now, we go to the next season. Bare trees, cold temperatures and short days. Sandy definitely changed the landscape in 24 hours around here.

Good evening Mona. We usually see snow by now. Not the we're knee deep till spring kind but at least a taste. We have seen flurries even here in Michigan, from Sandy? Maybe.

Mona & Leslie ~> hard to believe you are blessed with snow flurries so early in the season when the leaves are turning and not quite dropping off the trees. Nice to hear you weren't affected with any damage or power outages from Sandy. Our thoughts are out their to those who were...

Mona...

Wow! Snow so early in the year. I ran into snowstorms in the high elevations in October and April but it is still an unexpected treat!

Hi Mona, I recall when I was growing up, that one year we had almost 8 inches of snow to trudge through Halloween night. But we scored really big on the treats, :-)

Mike, love your new photo. Yes, the change was dramatic and immediate. I prefer a little more gradual approach but then...no one asked me! lol

Randy, I'm holding out hope that this won't mean a really long and cold winter. BRRRR

Frank and Karen, I hope you did well. We understand the NC beaches took a pounding even without a direct hit from Sandy.

Richard, that's what I tell the newly shorn Pekingnese...it's an unexpected treat. They don't believe me.

William, my memory of childhood trick or treat was that we ALWAYS scored big! 8 inches of snow is a lot for kids to trudge through...ahhh, but we were tougher then.

We experienced the same thing in Ohio Mona, but I'm with you, my thoughts and prayers are with those who are dealing with much bigger issues because of Sandy.

Roger, I'm almost sick that we haven't heard from the regular NE members. I'm hoping that power is restored quickly, people can cope much better when they have heat and running water.

Thinking of all the sorrow, fear, loss and the inevitable initial feeling of hopelessness that I know our neighbors to the north are going through, I can only look out at our beautiful moon and snow and few remaining leaves, and send them strength and the promise of a better tomorrow. It will come. Hold on.

Leslie, we always know that it can happen to anyone at anytime. I can't begin to imagine the despair some are feeling.
