I live in southeastern Pennsylvania, where we have been having an unusual fall, weatherwise. The typical date for our first frost is between October 11 and October 25. As of November 8, we still had no frost. Later that week, we did have a light frost, but still no hard freeze. Our temperatures have been unusually mild. Here is a picture I took of our dianthus on November 14.
And here is a picture of the same dianthus on November 15.
What a difference a day makes!
Everything can change in a heartbeat, so hug your loved ones extra tight. Say “I love you” often. Appreciate your blessings.

You are definitely right!
And it’s been snowing almost non stop here — thankfully just a dusting here & there since our bigger storm last Friday. I’m hoping the brief warmer temps after Thanksgiving will get rid of the snow . . . for now.

Yes, our high temperature for Thanksgiving is supposed to be 24 degrees! Ugh! It went from summer to winter in ONE day! I’m going into winter kicking and screaming! 🙂

I think we would have been happy to see it that warm, but then again, other than to collect Wednesday’s mail, I didn’t leave the house.
And yet I wracked up almost 7 miles yesterday — only 3.5 were on the treadmill!

That’s crazy weather, but living here in Wisconsin, we can have the same one-day change. I’m only hoping the recent snow and cold isn’t a foreshadowing of what’s to come this winter.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving day and Happy Wednesday!

What a difference a day makes is so true. Life as we know it is full of surprise and challenges. Some good, while others not so good. Never say ‘I’ll call them tomorrow, because as you wrote, ‘ everything can change in a heartbeat.'” Great advice!

Yes, so true. I thought of that this morning, then called my son to see if he wanted to go out for breakfast. We had a great chat! 🙂

Excellent. Sounds like a good decision. Always brightens my day when I chat with our daughter who lives on the east coast of Canada.

I love the title “What a difference a day makes” because it’s true! I love your positivity and zest for life and willingness to look at life in a deeper way. I try to catch myself often to either slow down, smell the dianthus before a frost, and to have a kind, encouraging word to offer others. Because I don’t know what tomorrow holds!

We have had winter weather very early this year – with wind chills below zero in early November and two snow storms already! Yes, everything can change in a day and it is good to appreciate what we have today. Happy Thanksgiving!

Truer words were never spoken. P.S. – those poor flowers, perky one day and covered in that awful white stuff the next! Like you, I’m no fan of snow. We have temps in the teens tonight … I’ve never bundled up that much on Thanksgiving Day before – the weather for this entire year has been “off”. Happy Thanksgiving Laurie.
