Windy, too. I appreciate taking snow photos to share while it’s falling … but before it’s so deep I have to shovel it. Not winter yet, but we’ll get plenty of the white stuff here.

Not quite. The snow is down but the leaves on the trees surrounding our backyard are still up. Interesting November, this.

Car, covered. Yes, a trip to the basement to locate the snow-clearing brush for our trusty vehicle was successful.

Hang in there! A lingering red bloom petal or two still clung to the front-yard roses when the first measureable snow of the season decided to pile up around it.

Successful coverup. We did have enough notice from the weather folks about the first measureable snowfall for me to grab our grill cover from the shed and get the valuable piece of cooking equipment safely protected for fall, winter and early spring.

Blend of seasons. Not only have these front-yard bush’s leaves not fallen before the initial measureable snow, this mid-November they’ve yet to go from green to yellow to gone.

OK, dad, I’l go down there. Our cherished rescue mutt takes a bit more time than usual to descend from the back deck to her yard to greet the morning snow. She’ll get there.

Yes, indeed. The leaves hadn’t all fallen from our front-yard dogwood when measureable snow visited our part of the world the last two nights. It was time for me to grab my phone and take enough photos to share for a few days.
