All I can say is that I'm heading back to Vermont!

: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?

I would say mid Sept to Oct, maybe little earlier further north. I am south eastern NH.

I hope it is a dryer and warmer winter in the Rio Grande Valley this year. Last year was not so nice.

I don't like winter! I can deal with the heat any day, but once it gets cold, it goes to the bone. Winter consists of lots of 4 letter dirty words...cold, snow, wind, icey....

I'm a born and bred FL girl who has never acclimated to colder temp's, even tho I moved away in the early 70's. My ancestry runs too deep in FL!

Rest of USA---"colder than normal but overall a kinder and gentler winter than last year."

My little 200 year old cottage in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mtns. has 14" thick homemade brick walls that are so porous and a non-working, original kitchen fireplace. It rarely gets above 67° in here even with the heat pump running 24/7 if the temps are below 30° or so. I've learned to layer, wear shoes every minute (LOVE going barefoot!), and do my handquilting all winter in a hoop with the quilt spread over me. My bed has two quilts, one with a wool batting which I adore. It would be nice not to have FEET of snow this year as we did last year, which makes it impassable down my ½ mile gravel drive. 30 years of Texas living didn’t leave me well prepared for this!
