October Snow

Winter began for us over a month ago. The days of Grandpa's funeral gatherings were wet and white.

There was even enough snow to build a snowman, which lasted a couple days before drooping away.

Only one big van got stuck in the snow at the cemetery, but the wind was frigid. My cousins' babies were well-bundled as we crowded under the tent for a special time around Grandpa's grave.

I spotted my wool mittens on two cousins 
waiting to be casket-bearers. :-)

And the snow kept falling...

Thankfully the hardy kale was still waiting to be picked after the snow thawed.
