The first snow!

We sat and ate breakfast when we got the news that the first snow had fallen just a couple of kilometers away (just a couple of miles away)! I have to say that this was news I really didn´t want to hear, not yet anyway :-) :-) But the snow melted as fast as it hit the ground, so that´s good news anyway. I don´t want to hear about more snowfall until at least November again.

The trees has fiery colors, the sky is dark blue grey and the rainbow shines. Can it be better than that?

It rained all the way home, but when i reached my cottage the sun started to break through the clouds. I can feel that frost is in the air and I should really place my car in the garage. But every time I do that mice seemes to think it´s their second home :-) I put traps in the car but they just don´t care about those. I wonder what food is best to bate the trap with, nuts?

After the snowfall the rain came. There had come a lot of new mushrooms during the day just because the long needed rain.

My little cottage is a bit chilly right now.There´s a fire in the stove but the heat seemes to want to stay down stairs. I know that when it starts to rise all the warm air will fill my bedroom and make it unbarebly warm :-) :-)

From October first we are allowed to put studded tires on our cars, from November first we must have some kind of winter tire by law. Hearing about the first snow today made me start to think about changing to my studded tires. I don´t like to change tires, it´s heavy dirty and I always feel beaten afterwards. So this year I think I´ll go to a garage so they can change them for me :-) It doesn´t cost a lot so I better call to hear when they can do it. Well it´s time for a cup of tea or perhaps cocoa if I have any. As long as it´s warm it´s perfect :-)

Have a great day now!
