First Snow...

The very first snowball of the season. And that is the only snow that stuck to the ground. (smile) I can't believe it that we are in the last months of the year already!!! The weather was cold, but I didn't expect snow and here it is. I decided it was time to make hot spiced wassail an pumpkin bread. The season of baking has begun.

Thanks to all who gave me Skinnies ideas. LOVE THEM!!! I can't wait to get started on the new line.
