First Snow

The last couple of weeks have been daily leaf pickup and getting a few last minute perrenials and bulbs planted. As I watched the temperature drop while cleaning up my lawn last night in the dark, I am grateful for getting that new layer of leaves composted. This morning there is a good inch of snow on the lawns. I am sure it is the first of many to come. In the months of head, I will be longing for Spring, but today there is a special beauty to this first dusting of snow.
