First SERIOUS Snow Storm Posted by Idaho Girl , Friday, November 18, 2011 at 12:08 AM, in Labels: Snow, Utah

A light snow started the morning of November 18. As the day progressed it got worse (as you will see from the pictures below). Looking out of my office at Utah State University, it is obvious how quick the snow accumulated and the drive home was very slow and steady. The roads were slick and piled with snow.

Our first snow storm of the season stayed mostly in the mountains.

Fall Evening Posted by Idaho Girl , Thursday, November 3, 2011 at 10:17 PM, in Labels: Autumn, Fall, garden, leaves

A couple photos taken as I gathered leaves, enjoyed the crisp fall air, gathered the last of my garden items, and observed the moon riding in a clear autumn sky.

Digging up the last of my onions.

Almost buried under the leaves!!

Enjoying the crisp cool air and noticing the few leaves left hanging onto the tree branches.

Looking up through the leaves at the moon and you can almost FEEL winter coming!!!

While gathering leaves, I found this pretty little monarch who didn't get out of town before the cold and he must've froze to death.

Couldn't resist getting a shot of his beautiful colors, even though he wasn't alive.

October Harvest Posted by Idaho Girl , Friday, October 28, 2011 at 10:26 PM, in Labels: garden, potatoes

The cold temperatures have pretty much wiped out the garden plants and it was time to dig up the potatoes to share and store for use during the winter.

Where they were....

What was left of the peppers; strung up to dry.
