Flurries in October is rare in these parts. Measurable snow is even more so. You know, October. When the leaves are changing colors and we're getting ready to mow the lawn one last time. Although the weather forecasters saw this one coming, I'm not sure we believed it.
Sometime in the wee hours of Saturday the rain changed to snow and began sticking to the trees in what would be the beginning of a very long day for all vegetation at Gracerock. All day long the sounds of trees moaning and breaking echoed thru the woods. By Saturday afternoon the driveway looked like a war zone - tree branches everywhere. And we were "hesitant" to go out and begin the removal process - even wearing a hard hat, some of those branches could cause serious bodily harm.
Sunday dawned bright. After an hour or so the tractor and I made the driveway passable. Now we're just waiting for the promised 60 degree weather to melt the remaining snow so autumn can resume
