Life in the Bristolwood

Ah, yes…as I padded down the stairs this morning and glanced out at the thermometer, it was reading *very chilly*! We were hovering right near 32 degrees fahrenheit, which means about 0 degrees celsius. 

Michelle scurried about, as Cindy had asked her to come in this morning to help with pies. She was supposing this weekend was going to bring many leaf-peepers, as the leaves are quickly falling to the ground.  This means many folks will be stopping by, ready to grab a tasty grape pie to take home with them!

I took Michelle down to Naples, and when we reached the bottom of our hill, look what we saw!

I smiled, as the photo looks as though I edited it. It looks almost cyan on the bottom, and color on the top. But, that is just the way it looked this morning at 8!

We drove down the upper road to Naples. As I headed south, I looked at the lake….it looked as though it was doing a pretty good imitation of an Alaskan lake!!! Well, either that, or it looked like a huge evaporator!

I stepped out of the Explorer to capture that shot. Look at the side of the road! The frost was really thick, but see the contrast between where the sun had hit on the grass!

 The skies are really bright blue this morning, and I do believe we are in for another one of those atmospherically intoxicating days!

As I returned home after dropping Michelle off,  I took the lower road. Of course, I had to stop in Woodville! Wow, what a shock…..there were many, many vehicles parked there with boat trailers. Apparently, this weather is good for fishing! As a boat was about to launch, I looked to see what these hale and hardy fishermen were wearing! Answer: winter coats!

Canandaigua Lake, looking northward this chilly morning! As I was taking the photos at Woodville, I could hear the unmistakable sound of the Eagle calling out.  It was so surreal…

The following are photos I took around our house….
