Our first frost of Winter 2015 is on Sunday November 22nd ..it is expected to go down to 27ºf -3ºc ...it will get much, much colder during the Winter especially in January sometimes going as far as 15ºf or less
So with the promise of Jack's visit this evening I decided to write a poem
Winter is coming to Maisonvogue
~~
Even in the Deep, Deep South;
It’s time that Jack Frost arrives;
Frosty breath bellowing out of his mouth;
Making certain that no flower survives.
~~
Long dark nights and candle light;
Crock pot soups and hearty stews;
Owls hooting in the cold starry night;
Holiday congregations fill up the pews.
~~
Happy times are every person’s hope;
Thoughts of what the New Year will bring;
So much to do, no time to mope;
Waiting for the Church bells to ring.

This also happens in Alabama
But in Alabama we usually see at least one day of snow and in January 2014 it snowed for two days and a much larger amount than usual and caught everyone by surprise ...including my Husband Danny who actually had to sleep that night in his office on the floor as the roads were impassable
Here are a few photo's I took the next day of the snow around our garden and the country road we live on
It’s time that Jack Frost arrives;
Frosty breath bellowing out of his mouth;
Making certain that no flower survives.
Happy Days
Janet
