It's snowing*! No, I did not wake up in some storybook cottage in the forest to see snow covering the ground and a sleigh waiting to carry me off on an adventure. In fact, these snowflakes bite at your cheeks against the grey backdrop of the sky. On the bright side, the ground is peppered with bright orange leaves, as we still have some of our foliage here. So yes, it's the most wonderful time of the year, if snow and fall colors will put you in a festive mood. Hope those of you on the east coast are staying safe and dry!
