The Day After

Mom and dad's Halloween party did not get cancelled even though it was a horribly slushy ride to and from the Crump barn for everyone involved.   There were over 100 peeps invited and about 35 brave souls showed up and they had a really fun time!  Unfortunately our mom did not bring the camera.  Shame on her because some of the costumes were really funny and a few were very scary and the dirt graveyard cake was a work of art!

We feel very fortunate to only have lost our power two times and for only short periods of time.  Many are still without it and it's cold and breezy here!

Our Magnolia tree didn't do too well in the storm~
And lucky for us, the pine tree decided to drop her limbs on the ground instead of on our brand new roof!


I know this picture is blurry but look what I found!    A snow-covered apple!


This thing in the foreground is our street sign pole that supports mom's wisteria!  The wisteria WAS taller than the top of the street sign. 

It sure doesn't look like October here at all!



Mom has always said that it would be awesome if the Burning Bush could be in bloom at Christmas when we have snow on the ground.   It's not Christmas but mom finally got her wish!

Does anyone need or want snow?  We have lots to give!

So until next time..............

Love ya lots,
Maggie and Mitch

    Wow! We are sorry about your trees but we are sooo jealous about all that snow. All we had was lots of rain. Hope you enjoy romping around in all of it. We are also in awe of Mitch's apple hunting abilities.

    Your friends,
    Niamh & Ambrose

    Happy your tree didn't drop any branches on your new roof. Snow sure does look pretty. You must have a goooood nose to find that apple under the snow.

    Snow? YES! We want all we can get. That's because we never get hardly any. The red bush is so beautiful against the snow. Hope you got some party left overs, mmmmm

    Yes, yes, we want some snow. It's still warm and sunny here. Too bad about your trees and other plants. They weren't ready and got a surprise from Mother Nature.

    Can't believe the snow. You should be showing all the Fall colours now. But the snow looks beautiful AND fun to play in.

    Glad the party wasn't a total wash--we mean snow out. Next time make sure your mum takes the camera.

    I think a snow covered apple sounds yummy!
    All that snow was beautiful, but it seems it arrived at the wrong month.
    But your party did sound fun for those that made it

    Now that is a silly question - you KNOW the four of us would love some snow!!! But Mom says NOT in October:) We are glad you made out OK considering the horrible stories we are hearing about the storm in CT and western MA. Glad you are all doing fine.

    And that burning bush photo is just gorgeous.

    Sorry to hear about all the tree devastation, but the snow is pretty! We'll take any snow you don't want! Our friends in Collie-rado have been getting dumped on as well, and we're getting jealous! ;-)
