It was beautiful fall in Sheridan Wyoming when I arrived on Oct. 1
as well as a light rain.
Patti and Jim decided it was time to cut back the tall ornamental grass before the snow came.
Project accomplished
In Wyoming, however, a day later, rain turned to snow.
and a different sort of precipitation covered the front walk. No tall grass to be weighted down!
And color vanished from the world as it was covered by snow….
The front walk was transformed, and my socks got wet walking to the car!
The back porch went from a light dusting to a heavy icing,
What we braved to reach Sanderson’s Store.
The neighbor’s fence acquired its own piles
and we all turned to inside activities: cuddling the dog,
(Some of us turned into little piggies at the prospect
and were sent outside to work for their appetites.
They had few objections, quickly bending over

And later rode along as their dad drove me home.
Morning brought Patti’s scrambled eggs
as well as icicles which in the heat of the sun, melted slowly away.
began to melt away,
drop after drop.
Snow in October – OMG! Who is the cute kid?

They are the grandsons of my best friend Patty, whom I’ve known since college and sons of my godson, Riley. Luckily, they came to visit while I was here.

And you had fun using the day’s pictures to create a read-aloud story of the first snow of winter!I love the colors in #1 and #12 (under the tree, and the red berries). What a fun day that you would not have had in Mexico! How long will it all last? We have sun here today, after 2 days of Sergio rain!

Love the picture story. Looks like we got out of Wyoming just in time. Snow and RV’s are not a good combination. I hope our luck holds out!

They had so much fun–jackets unzipped!!! Contrary to what my words say, they chose to go out and weren’t sent!
