Snow in Minnesota

My mom sent me this picture of their backyard from yesterday! I don't remember the last time it snowed before my birthday. I remember many Halloween snow storms, but never my birthday. The trees are still all green!
I am not ready for winter yet, I am just enjoying fall. Japan has beautiful weather right now for those that are thinking of visiting next year! It is "kego hunting" season around here as my Japanese teacher calls it. Kego are the changing leaves so they go search them out just to look at them. Very similar to hanami season in the spring- cherryblossom viewing.
