Four letter fall
Yesterday was October 10. This is what I woke up to:
Honestly. Snow? On October 10? October 10 as in one month from Labor Day – three weeks BEFORE Halloween – leaves still changing color – I haven’t gotten out my sweaters yet – October 10? Yeesh. Every where I’ve lived the natives have shared the joke about how quickly the weather changes, but I must say that Minnesota takes first place.
This must be karma since our summer was SOOOOOO lovely (as in not too hot, not too cold, not too rainy) for ever. And our September was warmish to the point of wishing it felt more fall like. OK, maybe I wished too hard or too loud. I didn’t mean for it to feel winter like.

if it is of any relief, we got the very same shock treatment. so not just in minnesota.
