The leaves are down and the cold winds blow

The farmers in the field rushing to bring in the crops before the snow begins to fly.  But the high winds, cloudy skies and cold front that passed through was a staunch reminder that winter is on the way.  It is October 28th already and we have had amazingly warm weather this fall.  Maybe that is why today hit me so hard.  I live in Minnesota which means that cold and snow will come the only questions are when? how much? and how cold?

Keep smiling.  There is something comforting about seeing the crops harvested, don't you think?
