I wondered aloud about some bright red berries above the road, knowing neighbor Marla might know the answer. She is a waste-no-time problem-solver. John held Albert’s leash while Marla tried to get a phone app identification. The app didn’t perform, so she took a photo of the plants and hoped one of her friends could give us the answer. I admired her steady hand as she zoomed in for a close-up.
Meanwhile, out West, son John $pencer and Rose saw snow beginning to blanket a mountain peak in Wyoming. The next day they were hiking in snow! Do you think dog Sadie was making snow angels?

I like the doggy snow angels. Snow already, though? I can’t even…

The snow was in mountains in Wyoming. It won’t touch the majority of us any time soon.

It snowed in Utah, too 🙂 Try going to https://images.google.com/ and uploading your image. That might help you.

I hope you get your identification and they aren’t poisonous after all that effort. Sadie must be a snow virgin and having the time of her life. I bet the novelty wears off.

I’m not ready for snow yet, either. Wouldn’t mind lower daytime temps!

We’ve started the lower daytime temps here. It’s been very pleasant. (said by someone who whined about the weather all summer)

We’ve had a hot spell after a cool summer. I’m ready for fall, too.

We had the opposite. Had I known that I would have sent down some humid oppressive heat in exchange for some cool days.

We might have been desperate enough to swap cool days for sizzlers. Not now. I’m ready for consistently cooler weather.

I love seeing the berries this time of year. I hope they can be identified. Snow is the best when you can enjoy, then go home where there is none 😊 🐶🐶Snow angels for sure!

We have a good system in Western NC. It snows, and the snow usually disappears the same day.

Does Sadie have snow boots? Cold toes hurt.

I doubt Sadie was in the snow for long. She used to live in middle Tennessee where snow was not long-lasting.

The snow was in Wyoming, though, not North Carolina. The five years we’ve been here, the earliest major storm was on Thanksgiving.

I put an app like that on my phone just in time to realize that we were looking at edible wild raspberries. What amazing things technology can do for us despite all its shortfalls.

I did read on the Accuweather site this morning that there was snow already but didn’t note where it was from. I missed this post … I am still four days behind despite spending three hours here tonight. I do think Sadie made snow angels!

Sure it was snow angels – had you not said that, I’d have likely made the comment first.
