Hello, Winter!

Published: Sep 12, 2014 by Kay Schrock · This post may contain affiliate links · 5 Comments

They were calling for snow... I kept hoping they were wrong. They sometimes are, you know. 😉 But this morning when I walked out through my yard, this is the sight that greeted my eyes:

winterMy lovely, bright flowers are each sporting a white cap of fluffy snow.

The grass is holding up a layer of snow on its green spears...

I walked out to my garden and unplugged the electric fence. For there is very little left alive in there to protect. The corn may look nice - but I bet it will be brown by the end of the day. Besides, the coons have eaten most of the ears, anyways. 🙁

Zucchini plants. You can't plant too many here in WY, as you only get to pick a few before the plants freeze! 😉

 

Thankfully, I don't think a bit of fluffy snow should hurt my apples.

Happy Winter, my friends.

    I feel a little dismayed for you... hoping along with you that you get Indian Summer.

      Oh, yuck! I am just not ready for a repeat of last winter. Hopefully this will melt quickly and you will have a long beautiful fall!

    Here in Indiana only highs in the upper 60's but at least no snow. Isn't this early even for Wyoming?

      Yes, it is. Normally I don't expect snow till October or late Sept.
