Leaves and Snow

It cracks me up that these pictures were taken less than 24 hours apart. That's Utah weather for you!
On Saturday we spent time out in the yard raking and bagging leaves.  This is an activity that I enjoy, and Cosette does, too.  The weather was gorgeous - around 60 degrees.  We were wearing light long sleeves and only had hats on because it was windy.

And then today we had our first snowfall of the season.  The flakes were big and beautiful, and it snowed off and on for several hours.  Cosette got really excited and asked if she could play outside.  Ironically, I had just bought a pair of adult snow pants at Walmart on Friday, so we got all dressed up and ready to go.

Silly girl 

Love the mix of purples, pink and red

I was surprised that the snow actually stuck to the ground, given how warm it was yesterday.  We tried to make snowballs, but they just became ice balls full of leaves, so we decided to make pictures with our feet instead.

We made three smily faces in the yard

Having fun making designs in the snow

Rose in the snow

Jeff took this pretty picture of one of our front roses covered in the icy snow.  Fortunately, I had cut off most of the roses just yesterday and put them in vases around the house in anticipation of colder temperatures.  I had no idea how timely it would be!

So there you go.  Back to back days of fun spent in the yard with leaves and snow.  Happy November!
