Saturday Snapshot 11/10

At Home with Books hosts Saturday Snapshot.

It has been a week of contrasts!

I drove to Connecticut on Tuesday to help take care of my mom who had hip surgery three weeks ago.  She and I had a wonderful week together (check back tomorrow for Weekend Cooking to see all the great food we cooked and ate), but the weather's been crazy!

The nor'easter that hit Wednesday brought lots of wet snow that looked beautiful Thursday morning (since we could admire it out the window and didn't have to go anywhere!)

The storm brought snow to CT.

By Friday morning when I drove home, the roads were clear and so was the lovely blue sky.  Though the trees near NYC were mostly bare already, just 100 miles further south, I admired the colors remaining in the trees along the southern end of the NJ Turnpike.

The last of the fall colors along the NJ Turnpike.
And now it's supposed to be in the 60's this weekend in Delaware and above 70 by Monday!  We've had a taste of 3 different seasons all in one week.

Hope you are enjoying this lovely weather this weekend.

    I agree snow is beautiful when you don't have to go out in it.

    Nice contrasting photos!

    We don't get fall leaves here (sigh!) and we don't get snow here (double sigh!) These are beautiful photos. Thank you for letting us share in your beautiful world.

    We usually get that back and forth weather at the change of seasons. I love your pics, Sue! We've been in the 60s along Lake Michigan but expect 30s for highs starting Monday.

    I love snow...especially when I can just sit and look at it and not have to get out in it.

    Here's my Snapshot.

    The snow does look pretty, but I never like driving in it. My Snapshot is at http://goo.gl/CQuKI

    First snows are always so lovely, aren't they? What a stormy time it's been lately!

    The snow photo is so pretty, but it just seems very early for snow - either that or the year is going too quickly (probably both). :)

    The snow photo is pretty -- one part of CT got 5" and we got just a dusting with lots of wind.

    Great pics. It really is too early for snow, though. Thanks for visiting my post earlier.

    I love snow! It makes cold weather easier to take because it's so pretty.
