Bio
"Nel mezzo del cammin di nostra vita," I find myself still asking some of the same questions I did when I was just a punk kid. The Big Things confuse me. Fortunately, though, many little things delight and amuse me, and some Big Things--my wife, our kids, our bird and bunny visitors, food, baseball--make me very, very happy. In my pilgrimage, I try to be guided by the wisdom of dear old Auntie Mame: "Life is a banquet!"

Oy. Look at that! We also got snow before we got frost here in the NM desert before Halloween this year. It's gonna be a long cold winter.
it's just a tease, pilgrim, a dusting. i hope. all the trick-or-treaters will be bundled, though, that's for sure. so sorry, friend.
Tell me about it. The first flakes have begun falling here. It's not sticking yet, but we're supposed to get several inches before the day's over. Grrrr.
Amazing photos, butterflies in snow. Hope it is melted already.

Negativity is not your style, Pilgrim. Use some poetic license instead:

Baseball ended last night. The cold now descends upon us until Spring Training arrives next March. The snow is symbolic of the changing of the sports seasons, and the fallen hopes of the fans of those teams who had their title hopes dashed once again.

Or something like that. You are far better than I am at such things.
I must say that as ill-timed as this weather might be, I love these photographs...beautiful. R
This morning out here in Central Texas at 7:45 am, there was still frost on the ground. Three days ago it was 93 degrees. We usually don't see frost here until end of November, sometimes not til January. It being Texas, land of extremes, when we get frost, it's usually immediately followed by an ice storm, then 75 degree days.

I saw the weather radar this morning. Only Pennsylvania was completely covered by snow flurries. Must be something in the air.

hang in there.

for missing snow for over a two decades now
Mother Nature has evidently abandoned subtlety and is now trying to scream to get our attention.

But great photos, Pilgrim.

I know how much you hate the cold months ...and wearing socks! I am sorry, Mr P.

Is there some good to be found in the winter months for you? I hope so.

Happy Halloween, Mr P! : )
and I was going to email and ask how cold was it...
It's going to be wishing Frigid Halloween from now on.
Fine photographs, try and stay warm.

Damn right it isn't right.
This is so bogus. I will have to walk across town tonight wearing a costume and dodging 100 thousand tourists in the snow.
i am coming over
Yuck! Didn't we just get rid of all that crud?

Not another "climate change post"~ sigh ... when are you hippies going to get over it ?
I'd still love to be there...
Thanks to you all for coming by, and no offense to anyone else, but, Kim, you absolutely win the "best comment" prize! Ha!!!!
my son and i drove home from the football Hall, in Canton, in our new Iggles gear, through that snow! r.,
