The First Snow of the Winter Season (at home)

Today is the day marking the first snowfall at home.

I awakened at 5 am and peeked out the window, just a normal day....

I promptly fell back to sleep and awakened at daylight to see SNOW!

It was a great day for crafts and cooking, so as you can see, I busied myself with both~ I took the basket of wild apples that were from an old tree that hasn't ever produced before and made very gingery applesauce, as seen here, warm with fresh cream and the Sunday funnies.

And I did a pear block carving. It doesn't print terribly well with stamping ink, I tried acrylic paint and that was a bit better, I guess I need to purchase a brayer, they seem to be much better for this kind of thing.
Act surprised if you get a pear holiday card, OK?
