First Snow!

Yep! We've been expecting it any day now - the first snow. But we've had beautiful fall weather.

Petunias and nasturtiums seem to be the most hardy. This is what I saw yesterday:

Green leaves...

turning brown...

and red...

to golden...












...now covered with snow!

I love Fall!
