when we left virginia last week it was still fall.  with each passing mile the remaining leaves left on the trees became less and less.  we drove 400 miles, right into winter.  where the trees were so stark and so lovely.  it was cold and gray, like november often is in pennsylvania, at least near the lake.  on the day before we came back it snowed.  i woke to the voice of my boy... so excited, "muuuum,  muuuum.   look.   it's snowing."     ahhhh.  everything was covered in white.  we bundled up and headed out into the muffled song of winter.  

now back in virginia.  it's the last day of november,  closer to winter, but it's rain and still a few leaves that are falling. secretly, like my children, i am hoping for more snow.

Happy last day of November!

I can't tell you how excited I was to find this post waiting for me! :) Please send me the information and know that I am signing up FOR SURE!!!!!!!
I'm grateful for kindred spirits like you Misty. Thank you for sharing the beauty that is your life, your talents, and helping us to discover our own. Happy Belated Thanksgiving, AND, Happy December 1st (it's only hours away now!)
Hugs, Annie
PS. We've got lots of snow! I'd love to share it with you!

I'm in Virginia too so know all about the rain. I have family that lives in the UK and can't believe they've had snow over there before we have.

OMgosh, I can't wait to hear about the class. I love your work Misty, and I am excited to finally be able to participate in a class with you...traveling to locations where you have taught has not been possible for me...so this online class will be a wonderful gift! Can't wait to hear more!

The snow looks magical. Having experienced it last year I know how cold it can be. Summer rain here, a different kind of magic. Mx

[Kelly Jeanette]

Beautiful photos of the snow. I would enjoy it more if I didn't have to get out in it.

Rain, snow, and inspiration. We never know what a day might bring.

Such beautiful pictures of PA and VA. It's colder here today with a dusting of snow/frost - almost as cold as PA I imagine. I am eager as always to learn more about your online class- wish I could take it, but 3 new preps for VT next year has me thinking not. :( Happy December!! (((hugs)))
