October is my favorite color

Rick and I are up for our last weekend of the season....

It's time to close the cabin, more on that to follow.

This morning we took a little drive on some of the backroads near our cabin

We saw beauty all around us. 

All I had was my camera phone so the quality is not up to snuff.

Same photo, different angle

It's always so pretty around the lakes, so many colors!

 Last night I took this from the edge of our yard, see the little "pop" of color on the right, 

and the sky was so blue.

Now back to Saturday morning. 

We did get snow, maybe about an inch.

My son took this photo from inside the cabin

By yesterday (Sunday) afternoon most of the snow had melted, but we still were getting spurts of snow from time to time

 Snowing

I saw this little snowman over on the other side of the lake as I was taking a drive 

 The neighbors oak tree next to our cabin. 

We are otherwise surrounded by pines so this tree is a welcome site in the fall.

Winter seemed to bump right into fall before it was done. 

I bet winter will back off so that fall can have its time.... too short this year.
