Oh sNOw!

On November 1st as we were driving through town.....

.......... this is what we saw.  There was less than this out where we live, and fortunately it melted away quickly.  But it is a sign of what is to come - and it looks like this year we will have winter before we leave for Florida on the 26th of December.  But.........

........... in the meantime, Poppa is still gathering up leaves and making trips to the dump.  When I went to help.....

...... there was a piece of digging equipment in the driveway beside Poppa's truck!  It turn out that the crew...........

....... working on building a picnic shelter in the park across the road asked Poppa if they could leave that thing in the shed driveway rather than taking it to and from the site every day.  So there is sits.

When Poppa had the trailer all ready for transporting, Squeegie drove us to the dump where we disposed of one more trailer load of leaves.  On the way home we stopped to pick up some lumber....

.... at one of Poppa's favourite stores - and you can see that there was some precipitation on the windshield of the truck.  While I waited for him to come back out....

.......... I noticed there was still some snow on the roof of the restaurant across the road... Brrrrr!  I hate winter!  Soon....

........ Poppa was back, carrying his pieces of moulding, so he can finish..........

........ another project he has been working on.
