Mixed Up Day

It’s a mixed up day
Nature wants to play
White snow with brown leaves
Blowing in the sunny breeze

Pinecones flattened on the road
In the arctic air, so cold
A white curtain at the mountain veils
Snow squalls fill the sky in trails

It’s a mixed up beautiful day
Nature wants to play
I watch in wonder
If next, will be thunder

For now it is a winter’s blast
Coming in real fast
Leaving fall quickly in the past
While the sun still lasts

It's sunny bright and beautiful here with a temperature of 58 degrees. We don't get much winter or snow in the South. I miss only the first snow from when I lived in Colorado, where the weather is often mixed up in one day! thanks for reminding me, Heidi.

The sun isn't very powerful today is it Heidi? These last days of Autumn do bring with it cold blasts and sometimes a good snow! I'm glad cause I like snow...as long as it doesn't impede my driving! The beauty that you speak of is incredible, I love days like that! Such a beautiful description you gave of nature and all its wonderment! What a gorgeous piece, Great Work!!
