attempting to be pleased by this

dragonlady7Well would you look at that!! First snow of the season, mixed with hail, is rattling off the giant windows of the office where I work.
The sky was gorgeously dramatic this morning as I drove in, all foreboding and dark and low sharp banks of grey shading to silver. I saw a pickup truck with its plow on for the winter, and a bicyclist biking to work, within a block of one another. The leaves are yellow but the grass bright green; our frosts here have not been sharp enough to dim the grass or kill most of the flowers. I still have snapdragons and there are red tomatoes on the dead black tomato plants. I pulled my pepper plants indoors and they've survived, though they're not pleased by the cold.
I do love all the seasons here. But we've had such a long idyllic autumn I'm sad that it's over. Especially because I haven't even started my insulated drapes yet, and I can feel the cold radiating off every window. We don't have the storms up yet but I think they won't really help much.
