First Snowfall

Yes, the first snow of the season has arrived. It's melting...slowly. 

Here's the backyard, and you can see the garden beds (post on that process coming soon). And a bonus fall photo from the front yard below

Beautiful October

October has been beautiful so far, from frosty and foggy mornings to crisp, clean blue skies. It has been a bit dry, so I have been watering my new plantings regularly, estimating at least an inch of water a week. The above photo is my back yard. The two below are the park nearby.
