    I don't want any snow this winter, but I guess we will get what the good Lord has planned for us. We just have to make sure we have plenty of quilting supplies in case we are snowed in for a few days.:)

    Well, at least in Norway we know what we're gonna get - cold, dark, lots of snow, but crystals in the air that look like diamonds and make you believe in fairies, gnomes and Santa. :D

    I Live in Florida and the acorns are already starting to fall and for us that is really earlie. Last year they started a little later and we had the coldest winter we have had in a long time. But I don't care I love cold weather. My husband doesn't.

    I'm south of Boston and there are some patches of color as we've had some early 'bloomers' because of the immense heat this summer. For the most part it looks like they're holding on and most are still green.

    :mrgreen: We only go for foliage visits in the Fall and to do a little genealogy and meet up with some very shirt tail relatives in the little town of Jeffersonville. Anybody on here from that neck of the woods who could give me a heads up on the upcoming fall colors?

    Well... I live in Minnesota, What more can I say. I love the snow, do not like the fridgid cold, just cold enough to wrap myself in a quilt.... and of course, that means during all those snow days I can stay home and sew, sew, sew, to my hearts content.

    And Cleveland OH uses the Woolybear caterpillars......lol
    I've been seeing those here lately. Big black fuzzy ones. They are cool. :)

    but on the other hand, I wonder if that is an indication of the winter N. TX will have. ::goes to ponder::
