Time Marches On — pat morss

We’ve gone from fall foliage to snow and frigid temperatures in less than 3 weeks.

Thanksgiving leftovers have run out. Fortunately, eggnog came early this year.
Anne-Lise enjoying colorful foliage on Niles Pond Road, November 20th.
Same road, as temperatures are dropping into the teens, December 14th.
The turkeys will stick around for the winter, owning the roads.
Berries have held out to provide the only bright colors around Niles Pond.
A warm early December allowed Canada Geese to continue walking on water.
But soon the Mallards were walking on ice, around an opening.
Followed by snow.
Getting to be huddling time.
Deer eat whatever they can find – our bushes. The right antler didn’t grow normally.
Yesterday was the coldest, but we’re expecting a short reprieve.
Approaching Christmas and the Holidays, the winter sunsets seem to be more sinister.
