Plus, we get so little, it stops us dead because we don't really have equipment to clear everything. I'd love snow for the holidays, though! Then, I want it gone! Right now I'm bringing plants in (in a short sleeve t-shirt!) because it'll be down to 33 this week. Leaves are still falling here. Your pictures are beautiful and it's so calming just looking at them!
