Happy as kings

What I wanted this year -- what I have wanted every year since I became verbal -- was snow on Thanksgiving. And I got it. Only a dusting, not enough to cover the grass, but still, it's an early Thanksgiving this year; any snow is bonus snow. My grandfather's health has improved drastically in the last ten days, with every indication that this is to be a lasting improvement; we have plenty of pie; and the porch roof is covered with snow. If that's not good, I don't know what is.

The world continues to be so full of a number of things. Thank you for being one of those things, and for exposing me to more of them.

That sounds very pleasant. We had a light snowfall here on Monday, no accumulation but I enjoyed looking at colored leaves through falling snow. (Yes, we have fine fall colors right now.)

Our neighbor's sumac has three leaves left on it, just three. I find this charming. Also the oaks are holding on a certain amount, like they do. We always end up with snowy crunchy oak leaves.

I am pleasantly surprised by New York's late version of indian summer. It's 58F here, and feels much farther from winter than I'm accustomed to seeing anytime in November.

I'm not even sure I'd call this Indian Summmer: it hasn't really gotten cold in between. (And no, this isn't usual here either.)
