Weird. Very cold and most unsettling to have snow this early. Though I have heard tell of it snowing on a Halloween before. I had not even shaken the spiders out of my winter work coat yet. 
Needless to say I did not get the lawns mowen yesterday.
For those of you who very sensibly don’t have Instagram – here is Boo and Poo-Bum Piglet yesterday while it was snowing outside.
The cows were less than thrilled.
Though the ducks were happiness filled. The snow melted fast on the warm ground. A perfect duck day.
Today will be sunny I think. Let’s check the weather forecast.
I wish I could close my eyes for just another tiny sleep.
But today’s list is long.

It’s getting cooler here, too, but another warm-up to the 80’s is expected this coming week. I’m still getting in the outdoor pool for exercise and to clean it. Still going for walks wearing my shorts a T-shirt. Hope we have a long, wet winter – we need the water AND clean air! Your photos were beautiful, except for the ‘mad’ cows 🙂 They were sure giving you the ‘stink eye’! Have a wonderfully wild day, Ms C.!
They wanted the barn door back open.
Snow?? Good lord! We just had to evacuate where we were staying in the Panhandle! Good thing as where we were..Tyndall AFB took a direct hit! 😳
That video is the sweetest thing ever! I have it on re-run! 🙂
What were you doing staying in the path of a hurricane – it looked awful.
We had a skiff of snow this morning AND this time last year too. A little early even for us…..but it came anyway. I don’t even have the garden space cleaned out yet!!!! Horrors! (At least this year I am not on crutches….YAY!) 🙂
Oh yes- no crutches is such a bonus.
Maybe everything is a little off kilter! We had rain! Real rain, lightening and thunder…poor old parched Los Angeles finally got a little something. But it was shockingly out of nowhere. It didn’t require much of us, other than a 60 pound dog sitting on my lap quivering! 🙂
Oh, that is so weird. Did you just recently post pictures of show in distant mountains?
It does not snow here. On very rare occasion, we get a weird slush that some might say is snow. That weird slush happened to fall on Halloween where I lived in San Luis Obispo at the time, which might have been about 1988 or so. What is weirder is that it was 101 degrees on Halloween the previous year.
No snow thank you until Thanksgiving time or so.
Yesterday we didn’t get out of the 30’s F and the growing season effectively was ended over night with a killing frost. A tad warmer today but not much and last Wed. it was 86*! Go figure, there may be some snow late tomorrow night but they’re not expecting more than 1/2 an inch. The only good thing is it’s significantly reduced the wasps and the box elder bugs, we were just over run.
Those bugs sound nasty- we really don’t get more than a few flies and some mossies.
I swear Boo is trying to keep that piglet alive with his love. Weather is a bit upside down here too. We are having a heat wave as I had all the plants ready to go into the greenhouse. I’m sure you’ll get warm again as the weather hasn’t made up it’s mind yet. I hope you find some time to sleep.
The forecast here says we will be getting our first frost Monday night (which means early Tuesday morning). Snow is also in the forecast. IN OCTOBER!!! I have never seen it snow here in October…
Most peculiar
Beautiful photos. Quite the wonderland effect with the snow layered over what otherwise looks like early fall. Boo’s patience knows no limits.
“Here, let me sit motionlessly while you suck on my ear.” Bless him.
A seriously perfect duck day!
