Snow on the Pumpkins

The first snow of the season fell last night. Big, heavy, wet flakes started coming down after dark as the temperature started to slide toward 32F. The temperature slipped a bit below the freezing mark overnight; our first frost, but it wasn't a hard frost.


The pumpkins await carving this weekend in advance of Halloween trick-or-treating, which in our town is Sunday evening - Halloween Eve.
