Summer is Over


Today feels like the first day of Winter.  Many people think of winter as the season starting in late December and lasting until the flowers bloom.  As a former Alaskan, I think of Winter as the season starting around the first snowfall in late September or early October and lasting until Break-Up in April.  So this is the right time of year for Winter to come, in my little world.

The rains came heavy today.  We have a new season.  Time to start wearing a jacket.

What a cute picture of you! Question: What is "Break-Up"?

Breakup is when the ice and snow melts (or breaks up) and floods the rivers and makes mud.

It happens every spring.
