What A Difference!

Less than a week ago we had bees visiting flowers and 80 degrees. 

We have had 2 hard frosts and the days do not get above 60 degrees now. I cut back my hydrangea, well what I could reach. Makes a great fall decoration. I purchased no mums or pumpkins so voila!

And speaking of cold the snow guns are going for the ski areas. This is Bretton Woods a bit north of us they plan to open for Thanksgiving or sooner.

Besides yard work and housework, I have been stitching in the evenings. I still have a bit more to do on my rug, but Halloween is looming not sure I will get it done for this year or not. 

Husband tested this morning and he is negative!
They pushed his back surgery back a week because of the covid. So, from here on in we will both be very careful to try and not get anything else before his surgery.

We will not get much of the storm coming up the coast this time we are too far north they said. Which is sad as we could really use that rain.
It is sunny and blustery today, so it makes it feel colder than the 58 it is. We will tuck in and watch the football game. 
Have a wonderful week.

Our last day in western Massachusetts, we woke up to a hard frost.
Hydrangeas must like New England weather. There were so many hydrangea trees loaded with huge blooms.
Good luck to hubby on his surgery! Prayers for a speedy recovery.

I am trying to catch up on blog reading. We are also enjoying cooler, and more fall-like temperatures here in the West. I hope that your husband's surgery goes well. Have a good week.

It's really cooled off here too, but today it's sunny and I just came back from a nice long walk in 62 degree weather. Perfect!
I hope you all stay healthy and the surgery can be done!

No hard frost here, yet but it is definitely chilly at night which makes the blanket and comforter on the bed quite nice. Still refusing to turn on heat.
DE and MD beaches are having 10-15 foot high waves with the storm moving up the coast. Have had some rain and it is very windy here but I am on hour inland where most of the rain is centered.

YAY on your husband testing negative. I know you are relieved. We had a mini frost last week, but not a hard one. Temps in the 60's currently but chilly overnight now. The trees have not turned full color yet either. Am hoping they do and not just drop like last year. Janice

We are still around 80. I hope your husband stays well for surgery - I apologize - what kind is he going to have?
