November Cold Snap

Hey, just a quick update.

There was no snow in the forecast but we got this white stuff drift down all morning (mist, they said but it sure resembled snow) ... only enough to just dust the ground and the tips of the trees ...


Last year this same scene looked like this on November 4th, 9 days earlier ...


.... okay, a slightly different angle.
... and another picture from today (13th Nov) ...


We are in a bit of a cold snap at the moment, our first of the season so it feels colder.  Hopefully I have enough leaves piled on the garlic etc as there is no insulating blanket of snow before such cold.  I have a lovely fire on all day.  Cozy.

I have been dehydrating dog treats of late.  The neighbour gave me two turkey legs left over from a recent dinner so I ground them up with a cooked yam and dehydrated them.  Mingus thinks they are pretty good ... but I think he thinks ALL treats are pretty good ... and there are never enough of them!

Naught else for news so I'll say ta ta for now ...

It's cold here as well.I agree that the first colder weather feels colder than it will a little later.Stay warm and enjoy that fire.

... quite the contrast between this year and last year's snowfall AND swinging temperatures ... your camera caught the significant comparison beautifully! ... enjoying my wood-burner too, especially when it's very cold ... e
