A taste of winter...

This is the cottonwood tree at the barn that makes shade for us to sit under and yak while we think about doing something constructive with the horses. Today it was vivid against a bright blue sky. By Wednesday we are supposed to have 12" of snow, which will strip the trees bare. We will have more nice fall days, but without the color show going on around us. As compensation - all the flies and hornets at the barn will drop dead.

  1. LOL! I had just asked if this was a cottonwood. A foot of snow!! I'm going to have to watch the news to see if the snow is supposed to make it up this way or not. That will be one white Halloween! Unless it all melts before then. I know the snow melts a lot your way, but a foot!? That would be a lot of melting!
