This isn’t the earliest it’s snowed here in Coastal Maine. We’ve had some white stuff in October too. It’s been less than six months since our last snow.

I love all of the seasons and the first snow of the season feels magical.

We got about three inches and not a snow shovel to be found. That’s on this weekend’s To Do List.

The leaves look a bit like ornaments.

This fellow looks none too happy with the turn of events.

The oak leaves are still hanging on.

And here’s the joy of the day.

I love watching the deer when they visit. Gidget not so much. At this point she growls when I pick up my camera. It’s her signal that there’s something out there she needs to chase off.

Especially the young ones.

This mama spent quite a bit of time grooming both of the teens.

By the weekend this will all be a memory – the weather man predicts 61 degrees on Saturday.
