Who, it's way past morning but I love your cuppa. Jim, isn't it good to have a certain amount of really cold weather to kill off the insects and bacteria (or something like that)? I think my grandfather told me that.

I think my grandfather told me that. yeah. when it gets down in the twenties and teens, it's bye bye flies, mosquitos, and the rest of them. you can always put on enough clothes to get warm, but, i just don't like to. i can handle it much better than hazel, but, it's still a pain. in that pic, it was thirty degrees, but, there was no wind. hazel was all bundled up to take the pic Attachments:

Nice tolerance! I think sunny snowdays with no wind aren't too awfully bad even at 30 degrees but I would not be out there long!
I have a friend in Alabama. She complains fiercely about the insects there ... also the foliage that needs constant attention. As an Ohio transplant, she may never get used to life in that kind of climate.

Both of you on the west coast?
Chef, you're in CA and Apple, you're in Canada?
Makes a big difference in your weather in the winter, no doubt about that.

was enjoying some quiet time on the balcony today but noticed the leaves are starting to turn color so fall is already starting here in spite of the warm weather.

The kids have all gone back to school. The street is much too quiet, I keep looking out the window wondering where everyone is. I like it when the kids are out playing in the street. They come and talk to me through the window. Sometimes they climb though the window to play with Stanley our dog. Holidays are happy days round here.

Lazy lazy day. Just did the washing. Off out to dinner so it is great. Weather beautiful. Going to sit outside in the restaurant so should be very pleasant.

The ones that live beside us don't have kinds and don't act like they like kids very much. One of mine started kindergarten this week and the other one goes to nursery school 2 times a week. That's so there will be other kids to play with. it's a good thing they have each other because the other kids in our neighborhood are a lot order or babies.
