Snow, in the Desert???

Wow it was so cold today! it was only about 52 degrees, which for you northerners is nothing, but yesterday it was over 70, and it's rarely very cold around here, which is why I LOVE IT. This afternoon as I was driving home, wet spots suddenly appeared on the windshield. I thought it was a light rain, until the snowflakes held their shape and stayed frozen on the hood of my car. Yes, it was cold enough to keep them frozen! It only snowed a few minutes, but I don't remember having snow this early in the season here.

We were supposed to have a Trunk or Treat night for Halloween at the church this weekend, then suddenly the 'powers that be' decided that it shouldn't be done, and they changed it to tonight. Sorry, it's snowing and too cold and windy for this old girl- so it was a no go for me. I spent years trudging around in the snow in Colorado for Halloween, taking the kids all over the big town of Silt. It always rained or snowed on Halloween, and we lived out of town, so I had to drive them into town, follow them around and of course steal some of their candy. I called it just payments for services rendered. hehe

We never get trick or treaters at our house. We don't live on the street, our driveway sets back off the street, kind of a dark alley feel, it seems to deter the kids. Probably doesn't help that I have 2 big dogs, a yappy little chihuahua, no lights and a big creepy cobweb across the trees lining the driveway. If this were a 2-story house we'd be the 'haunted' creaky old place down the road. That way David and I only have to share the candy with each other, and since I do all the shopping, there's a whole lot of candy he doesn't even know about- and don't you tell him!
