Yes fall and winter; that’s the way it’s supposed to be. I think this year Mother Nature has it mixed up! Monday morning we woke up to about 2+ inches of snow; we got a little more through the day but it stayed around 32 deg. so it wasn’t too bad.
Monday night the temperatures fell and we got wind with 30 mph gusts. I think it might have hit single digits overnight. At 10 AM it was just 13 deg. It has been windy all day today. Mother Nature never let my pear tree shed its leaves; some still green, before winter came. A lot of the leaves have been blowing off today.
I think all of you out there are seeing colder than normal temps, 49 states reported freezing temperatures!
Monday morning it was pretty out, the wet snow with no wind let it stick to everything. Then Tuesday with all the wind as I sat on my back porch looking out; the leaves from my pear tree looked pretty on top of the snow. I took a picture of them and enhanced a little with Photoshop elements; adjusted light levels, sharpened and made the color of the leaves stand out more with a filter. I added a white border with a drop shadow. I thought it looked nice and showed that Mother Nature was a little mixed up this year.
Monday morning
