Autum leaves shining brightly under the soft falling snow...
No one, not even the fairies or the jack-o-lanterns could have imagined the surprise Mother Nature had in store...
The day went by quietly, but towards evening the terrible sound of the cracking branches filled the air. One by one they started to fall. Standing by my window I watched helplessly...
Morning came and we were able to step outside. It was hard to take it all in. Even Abby seemed to be taken aback by the chaos and destruction...
Tears were shed, but we were okay and that's what really mattered. Needless to say Halloween Day was a bit strange but with our precious, dear Abby, who can stay sad? She was a trooper and allowed me to dress her up. She even posed patiently for the photographs!
Such a good little witch! LOL
And so, this is it for now. Please accept my belated, but very heartfelt wishes for a Happy Halloween. May the season's magic continue to be yours!

Many blogger friends have been affected by the snow lately. We live in Southern California, so we don't see much of the snow unless you get high in the mountains. It is always so beautiful to me. Stay safe and warm. Oh, that Abby looks so cute, I want to hug her!!

My area was hit by the storm also, we lost power for two days, we were lucky, some are still without it. Your Abby certainly is a trooper, I wish my Bell would stay still long enough for me to get a good photo of her, I have lots of ghostly looking images though.lol
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful, I managed to get some magical ones as well, Mother Nature always leaves some goodness.

Samhain blessings to you and yours, dear Alina!
ReplyDeleteHi Alina! It was a terrible - and unexpected - storm. I'm in New Hamspshire, and we got hit pretty badly, too, but I was fortunate to not lose power at all. My grandparents in Massachusetts were out for six days, though - glad it's over!
ReplyDeleteYour photos are beautiful....

ReplyDeleteHi Alina~ So nice to visit with you. So sorry you had to experience power outages and icy trees (we get very upset over damage to our trees, too!). Your snow fairy pictures are stunning, and Abby is priceless. I love your pictures. Thanks for always stopping by to see me. I have thought of you many times and hope your heart is doing well with the loss of your mom. Love and fall wishes... ~Mandy
