No.. Never
It gets that cold in Montana...
worst I saw in decades in ohio was -26, but saw -10 in tx
dang ol global warming...
He’s a handsome ol’ feller too. Beautiful markings and coloring and I just love that face. LOL
I still have a feeling he’s going to turn into a very lovable cat once he’s tamed.
There’s no telling what it will be like up there in three weeks. It’s getting to be that time of year when the weather starts doing flip flops up north. Heck, it snowed I the Rockies close to Denver last weekend when a friend and her daughter were out there. brrrrr!
It looks like the beans are through growing now because leaves are beginning to turn yellow. We got good rainfall just in time to plump up the beans and they’re beautiful lil beans now.
Kinda makes me sad. The fields have been so gorgeous this year and it’s going to look ugly pretty soon.
Pretty cool, for sure! And you and Blue got to go cruzin’!!
I think we had -16 last winter...or the winter before. Can’t remember now.
Almost makes me sneeze thinking of the dust that will be stirred up when they harvest those beans. LOL!
Some of the trees are already beginning to get some color up there. I think the aspens turn yellow first.
Yep, harvest time gets pretty rough around here when it cranks up. It lasts a while, too, since fields are planted at different times and harvested accordingly and they’re scattered all around the county. We go through a LOT of Kleenex. LOL
The first day of autumn is less than a month away now. No surprise trees are starting to turn up north. Won’t be all that long before they start turning here. I noticed the Rose of Sharons around the yard are turning already but they start as soon as they stop blooming.
We’re looking forward to cooler temps but I’m not ready for the rest of autumn.
Y’all need to stop talking about frigid temps. Makes me want to throw on a sweater just thinking about it. LOL
Now that I’ve gotten older, I finally understand snowbirds. :-)
Aw, why not? :-)
LOL! I told my son, who wants us to live in that frozen tundra...well, not really THAT bad....that I’d do it if I could be a reverse snowbird. Go up there when it’s warm and come back to Texas when it gets frigid.
I don’t think he was amused.
Our trees don’t lose their leaves until late November unless there is an early hard freeze. Then the leaves simply turn black and fall in a clump overnight. it’s ugly! LOL!
That sounds like a pretty good plan if you could pull it off! LOL
By late November, our trees are pretty naked. The black jack oaks hang on to their leaves through winter but they’re brown. At least there are a lot of cedars and pines so there’s green to be seen throughout winter. It helps a little.
How's everyone doing this morning?
Winter here gets pretty bleak. It’s ugly to begin with, and what trees that have survived ice, drought and high winds through the past few years look even worse in the winter. Not many pines or other evergreens...no hills. Even the cactus loses color in the winter. Ugh.
Howdy, E.G.C. ((HUGZ))
Did you and Gizmo have the lake to yourselves again or did folks show up en masse?
I've got to do some lawn mowing later this morning. Grass grew from last week. We'll see how the rest of the day goes.
And that’s why I could never live in the desert. It would be too depressing. Gots ta have a lot of greenery, even if it means allergies. LOL
I hear ya. But even tumbleweeds cause allergies. Ugh. And sand. It’s way prettier where you are!
