Winter Wonderland?

Winter is just around the corner, never sure if we will have a true Fall or if we will go straight from summer to winter. I love fall with the changing of the leaves even though it doesn't last nearly as long as I would like. And then winter comes along and WOW you never know, will it be mild, or will it be a humdinger. last year seemed like everything was going along just fine and dandy and then guess what ICE STORM!!!! you hope for at least one or two good freezes to kill off the bugs but then that's enough for me , oh maybe one pretty snow doesn't even have to be on Christmas just pretty. Although i don't like to drive in it (I do have 4-wheel drive)i do like to ride around and see how everything changes looks with a few inches of snow on it. Everything is prettier with a little snow on it. Ice is another story, it can be pretty with the icicles and all but alot scarier. No electric, running generators, falling limbs everywhere sounded like a war zone last year with all the limbs falling, couldn't even walk around in the yard out of fear of a limb or two falling on top of you. But Fall is here and so winter is soon to come Lets just wait and see what it brings
