November 12, 2019....

We awoke this morning to a snowfall, early for our area.  While we have had November snowfalls, it is usually later in the month.  My sister, who reads this blog, will remember the November 22, 1952 snowfall of 18 inches in our area.  By the time officials managed to call off school and have the school buses ready to pick us up, our bus wasn't able to manage the hill that was part of the usual route.  We left the bus and had quite a distance to walk.  Here, today, schools were on a two-hour delay, a good move as the county is large and covers areas that are more susceptible to greater snowfall.

The following pictures will show what it is like at our house....

Snow on the Turquoise Table!  There will be no outdoor gatherings here today!  Our temperatures are predicted to fall into the teens overnight.

This is not "frost on the pumpkins!"  They have waited for snow!

I love this snow-covered Burning Bush! It looks very holiday-ish! 

Stay warm and cozy wherever you are!

Leftovers?

Halloween was just a week ago.  Here, the weather was a huge factor in cancelling the Trunk or Treat that our church has every year.  Consequently, there has been an overage of Halloween candy around the house.  In fact, not much has disappeared.  Just in case you may be wondering what to do with any leftover candy you may have....

....you may find this suggestion helpful:  Bake a cake!

This one is going to a Wesley House event that the United Methodist Women Unit at our church assists with during the year.

I happen to have lots more candy.:-)   Perhaps I'll bake another that will stay at home.:-)
