I Said Hello, GoodbyePosted by drfl on October 19th, 2009

Autumn is my favorite season, fresh apple cider is at hand, warm colors abound, orange pumpkins are everywhere, and bowls are filled with small candies.  The only downside I ever see to fall is that it means it’s going to be cold and bad driving weather and shorter days are ahead.  In Nebraska fall begins to gear up in early October and goes into full swing by mid-month followed by a hurried decline by November.  Unfortunately, this year we were just moving into fall when we received record snowfall across the state.  For one day we had some beautiful snow covered scenes.  The days immediately following were reminiscent of November scenes.  I did, however, manage to briefly make it out for a few images during the snowfall.  Over the next couple of days I will share the few images that showcase the my celebration and lamentation of the shortest fall I have ever witnessed.

And yes, I did just totally rip off a Phil Collins song title for the title of this post and image, but it fit so well!
