We have a Looney Tunes episode where Porky Pig and Sylvester go camping. While they are sleeping in their tent, a Martian lifts up the piece of ground their tent is resting on and takes it to Mars with him on top of his spaceship.
Well, this morning it felt a bit like that had happened to my yard. Things looked vaguely familiar, but in a strange, eery, beautiful and alien way.
Alien landscape.
While I photographed it, the snow held up its monacle to inspect me.
My little garden boy, who already looked a little sad since he lost his umbrella handle, now looked sad and chilly.
So that's what the plants look like on Uranus! Someone should notify NASA.
A few days ago at supper, we were discussing how it seems that nearly every year, we get our first serious "snow" on October 31st. The report we heard wasn't calling for it until Thursday, but Jude has been praying for snow for about two months, now. Jason encouraged him with the thought it might come early by saying, "Yep, you can almost 'set your calendar' by it--happens almost every year on October 31st."
It's good to know that there are some things in this world that are consistent. Even weather.
