What's that white stuff?

I can't believe that we had snow today!! It's not even November yet for goodness sakes!! Luckily we did not get much - certainly we were much better off than those in New England who got upwards of two feet in some areas!! The freak storm there left 11 dead and over 3 million without power... I can't believe that two days ago I picked these last flowers from my garden! Just thought if you, like me, were NOT happy to see that white stuff today, you might enjoy these last few blooms as I did.. these are definitely the last ones for this year... a beautiful pink poppy with a bouquet of Nigella, also known as Love in a Mist, and below, a bouquet of Japanese Toad Lilies.
I stayed inside today , and made brown bread and a nice beef stew for supper... Mmmmm. I guess I'm starting to feel the need for "comfort food".. that's what the onset of cold weather does to me..
Read a great book this weekend- another one of those that once I started, just couldn't stop... Strange Fits of Passion by Anita Shreve.  It's a compelling story of a young mother who has taken her infant daughter and fled from an abusive husband. She hopes to start life over in a small coastal Maine community under an assumed name, but things don't quite work out the way she had hoped...  If you haven't read this book yet- you should. You won't be sorry...

Piece,
Linda

Well Linda there is an old saying, "Misery loves company" and let it be known you are not alone in your snowfall woes! Way to early for this, but after such a lovely Fall I hate to complain. Love your photos.
