Do you see what that is? I cannot believe it! I hadn't even begun to look for it yet. Termination Dust. That first sprinkling of snow on the mountain tops around our house. This date is significant because it is supposed to signal the end of summer and warn us to expect snow in 6 weeks. We shall see.
Last year I noted the dust on Sept 5th, we had our first "pathetic snow" on Oct 11th, but our first honest to goodness snowstorm - it's here until May type of snow - was on November 9th. Checking the calendar that first pathetic snowstorm was 6 weeks and 1 day from termination dust, and the storms started 10 weeks after termination dust.
Surely, we won't have snow six weeks from now. That would be Sept 21st - which is a scheduled family celebration. This should make it easy to check.
To get the dates for last year I looked at the index in the side bar...and saw all the posts through Oct and Nov...I can hardly believe we are coming up on a year without Josiah. I don't know if I'm ready for fall this year.
