Wait. What happened to Fall?

We woke up to what they call "nuisance snow". About 1 1/2 inches, just enough to muck up the roads and make driving slippery and sloppy. But it`s lining all the bare branches on the trees out back and I must admit, that`s beautiful! The cardinals love it, you`ll see a splash of red here and there in the sepia tones of the winter landscape. I don`t need to go anywhere so I`ll just sit with a cuppa and enjoy the view out the slider.
