Snow came in the night, starting out like rain/sleet/ then snow
Not masses of snowflakes but enough that one is surprised to look out the window on an October Day.
The wind chill is the worst.
The day before, in a crisp, sharp, gusting wind (no rain, no snow, just strong wind)
We tackled part of the woodpile,
Splitting a nice little stack amid the swirl of leaves and twigs
Which is keeping us warm, while the malevolence of the nasty wind stripped the rest of the leaves from all the trees.

So, so strange to see snow… And good to see you’re getting two of the warm-ups you get with firewood: the cutting and splitting, and the carting. I really hope you’ll both have someone to help you with this task later in life.

We might have to resort to different heat in our 80s.

We’re getting blasted here on the front range. I’m glad you’re covered (firewood) in case you lose power!

I read from Jeanne of A Jeanne In The Kitchen that they are expecting 8 to 12 inches. She is somewhere in CO, too.

You are so nice to reply to comments.
Quilters here put a label on their quilts–name, date, and sometimes a small comment– as it is easy for succeeding generations to forget and for daughters-in -law to know who did it.
