Where has autumn gone?

I just posted below 12 hours ago about our first snow of the season and I'm already updating with our second, this one I would call more of a dump. The photo above was taken last Thursday, the photo below today.
I love winter and all, after all, I do live in Minnesota. However, I can only appreciate it after a lovely autumn affair with the glorious colors and the crunching of the leaves. This, my friends, is a bit too early to be white. It's as if Autumn has been erased.
Good thing I thrifted a good stash of nice warm blankets recently. At least I have something comfy cozy to snuggle up with.

In 65 years, my dad has never seen snow on his birthday.

Happy Birthday, Dad!!!

That is quite a switch! Living in central Ohio we usually don't get fall either--our weather is unpredictable and wacky. This is the first year I really recall having autumn at all! But hey who knows...maybe it'll pass and you'll get a few more fall outings in.

Amazing on the weather! I live in So. IL and we are having much cooler weather than we've had in years. The earliest I can remember a snow here was at the end of October, right at Halloween...but that was just flurries. I remember Christmas shopping about 15 years ago and people were wearing shorts and flip-flops.... a few years before, Highways were closed down because of a blizzard!!!!! Weather is very unpredicatable....

we are due for some flurries later on this week...i would prefer snow to wait until december but i guess i am not really given a choice either. oh well, embrace (i tell myself); maybe it will give me a jump start on Christmas preparations.

My cousin, who is currently living up in St. Paul, had her birthday today, too. Don't know how your dad feels about now on his birthday, but my cousin was not too excited. I'm am only slightly jealous as I love the first snows, then it gets a bit old for me. Since we got some blanketing on Saturday which has since melted, I'll cherish the remnant of autumn here in Iowa before it snows again.

How beautiful, and the cooler weather sounds nice to me. I am in South Florida and we are having record highs in the 90's this week. Certainly doesn't feel like fall here.
