Snowing already????

Yep...it's snowing already in Northeastern Pennsylvania!  Snowed all day yesterday and most of today....totalled about 7 inches or so here.  Our temps are in the low 30's so some of it has melted.  It is beautiful to see that first snowfall, but SERIOUSLY...NOT IN MID OCTOBER!  I want my beautiful autumn leaves and crisp weather back...not ready for winter......time to book a trip South!



Dozier sticks his head through the deck to look at the snow!

Our beautiful fall leaves are heavy with snow

Frozen treats for the hummingbirds....

Bethel Woods Center for the Performing Arts is the former Woodstock Concert site


Here I am..right in the center of the place where it all happened in 1969!  The gravel area just behind me is where the stage was...

Scarecrow of Duke...the original Woodstock interpreter...I met him and talked for awhile...he told me the greatest story about the time Roger Clinton (Prez's brother)...came up to Woodstock in a limo....when he got out, he asked Duke just what was that chicken doing sitting on the end of the guitar in the posters....Duke told him it was a peace dove..not a chicken......Roger said, "In Arkansas...we call them chickens"....
