It's October 31st and no snow! Hallelujah! I feel like I have had a real autumn. The leaves are past their crunchy golden prime and are rather soggy. The last of the flowers are gone and the lawns are beginning to turn brown. My pumpkin on the porch escaped major freezing so I can cook him and that will be the end of my lovely fall season.
November 1st will bring the winter season, I hope. I am now ready for snow! Big honkin' flakes that sit on fence posts and have to be shoveled, not swept off sidewalks and driveways will be a welcome sight. A snow day from school and work sounds delicious and I wouldn't complain about two. I am ready for the light the snow brings on my morning walks, the contrast of white snow and dark moose is a winter blessing!
I am thankful for the extra fall days, but am looking forward to that "winter wonder land" Alaska becomes! Yipee! LET IT SNOW!!!

Never realized that snow actually makes it lighter in the winter. Makes sense. I do know when it rains it is darker especially at night. This concept puts a whole new "light" on Alaska in the winter time. Lenora
