This morning we awoke to Halloween and the first snowfall of the season. Since the weather here as been a little above normal, we didn't think it would stick. They predicted somewhere between 2-4". Here are some photos:

| I took this photo out the kitchen window - it continued to snow on and off all day but without accumulating any more |
 |
| We had to go to downtown Houghton and get our flu shots, here is what they got. |

The lake effect snow comes off the lake, bounces over our farm, and dumps
about five miles inland - which is in Houghton. It was REALLY coming
down there. It was so beautiful.

| By evening, the snow was all but gone. The sky was very striking - much brighter than this photo shows |
We thought since we were new to the area and lived in the country, we would not be visited by little trick or treators this Halloween...but we were very wrong. We live in an area of Apostolic Lutherans, who are very much like old world Catholics as they believe in very large families. Three of those large families pulled into our driveway and brought their little ones to the door. Each family introduced themselves to us - they all live within a few miles from our farm. We had an adorable little lion (about Claira's age), a mime, a little old lady, 2 cowboys, 2 princesses, and assorted minions. They were all precious but they made me very homesick for my own little ones. I hope to see them soon.
We hope you all had a great Halloween!
Awe!!! That's so sweet!!!!
