October Snowstorm

With the excitement mounting over the predication of ten inches of snow I hastily unpacked snowpants, jackets, boots (hoping they would still fit), hats and mittens so that we could take a late night family walk around the neighborhood.  The snow was falling heavy and furiously.  Immediately snowballs were formed and thrown at a sister, brother and dad.  (Mom was reprieved as the holder of the camera).  The snowball fight paused long enough for snow angels to be made.  We oohed and awed at the beauty of the snow-laden leaf-covered trees.    And the entire time we marveled at the thought it was only October.
