I do miss the fall in the northeast! We still have flowering plants all winter, but the leaves that fall usually just turn brown. I have some maples along my street and some leaves turn yellow and red, some leaves just die and somehow all end up in my yard... ;^)

Glad you were spared the headache of listening to Hilary’s cackle the few times she laughed - funny how she has learned from barry to throw her head back and open that hinged jaw....nose to the sky

Beautiful I texted my NY daughter and Saratoga) to tell her that it was 41 degrees this AM at (between Albany and Saratoga) 4:30 AM. She texted back that it was 38 degrees yesterday morning when her son went out to catch the school bus!

Well that was garbled! Ever since I had this laptop serviced, it jumps around when I am typing and puts lines of text in the wrong places. I guess I’ll have to slow down and re-read the result before hitting the posting button. There goes the sponteneity!

That was meant to say that it was 41 degrees at 4:30 AM in Wisconsin, but 38 degrees yesterday AM in NY between Albany and Saratoga where my daughter lives.

Yeah, it’s nippy in the mornings and at night, but the afternoons are pleasant and sunny.

My daughter hasn’t closed her pool yet (next week) but nobody except the dog has been in for 3 weeks. She says that it is worth keeping it open an extra 3 weeks to avoid a bigger mess in the spring when she re-opens. She says she’s had to oust the same frog 3 times in the last week. LOL

Try the function (sometimes a hot button key using the [function] button on the keyboard) that “kills the keypad touch screen.

If your fingertips are “magnetic” or trail across the touchpad, they move the “mouse” on the screen.

Debate night, Old Bernie was quizzable
His socialist answers just risible
Jim Webb kept on trying
Ms. Clinton kept lying
While Marty and Linc were invisible

It gets colder out here, so all but the evergreen trees lose leaves in November/December-Lost Maples state park-one of my favorite places-is only about 40 miles away-the falling leaves are beautiful there. Fallen leaves here are mulch for plants and ground cover-helps keep moisture in and keeps them from freezing as badly.
