We had our first snowfall of the season yesterday. It was short lived and there wasn't a lot of it, but it was pretty anyway. 

Crispy, crunchy willow tree. It was so pretty this year! Can we just skip winter and go straight to spring?

Our Bradford Pear trees are really staring to get pretty now. Beautiful shades of red and yellow. They are always the last trees to shed their leaves in the fall and the first to grow leaves in the spring. I took this picture from our bathroom window because I didn't feel like getting out in the cold. It's only going to get into the upper 30's today. Ugh!!!

I'm loving these Fall sunsets! This is yesterday's sunset. Not as intense, but still pretty.

 Happy 37th birthday to my first born niece, Kelly! Hope your day is as special as you are! Much love from me and Terry.
