early snow on geranium leaves

Yep, that’s snow, as in frozen-water-falling-from-the-sky. Here, in my backyard. In November.

Mother Nature can be so rude.

It just can’t be winter yet – I still have bulbs to plant and more leaves to rake than you can shake a stick at. Of course, there’s still time – this little snowstorm only lasted a couple hours and the snow melted quickly, but this is surely a sign that time is running out. Fortunately, I’ve finished with putting the flower beds to, well, bed. Perennials cut back, annuals pulled up, pots tucked away into the garage, rain barrels emptied. It’s almost time to hunker down for the long haul.

Now if only those pesky leaves would go ahead and fall already…
