Um, seriously?

Please note the date: October 17. Now, what do you notice about the following picture?I see red leaves and snow. I feel that this is an anomaly.
It was awfully fun, however, to put on my boots and go tromping through the snow this morning on my way to pick up work at my office.
There are trees down all over town (and if you look carefully at the back of this picture you'll see the trees down in my yard) and many are without power, including my friend Heather and her family (which includes her visiting in-laws). This means no hot water, which means that I may have some visitors later seeking a shower. It also means in many cases no heat, so people are huddling around fire-places and gas stoves...
I, being one of the fortunate ones, am warm and cozy in my warm and cozy apartment (no heat or power issues here!). It is the perfect day for getting entrenched in work and baking while the snow swirls outside. I think I will make some pumpkin bread, in honor of the fact that it is, after all, only October 17.

We've already had our 1st snows too! Crazy!! However, it didn't leave enough on the ground here to take pictures like that. I did miss out on the back porch which is where it showed up the best.... Stay warm! :)
