Can you believe Thanksgiving is approaching and daylight savings time ends tomorrow night? Where has the summer gone? And did we really even have a fall? Our summer hers in the Pacific NW didn't kick in until July 15th...two months later than normal, and it ended toward the latter part of Sept. I'm hearing rumblings of heavy snows and even hints that we could see some white stuff drifting down over the next few nights.
I'll admit...I'm NOT a winter lover. Give me 12 months of spring, summer and fall...let's just avoid winter all together, shall we?
At least I was able to find time this year to bed all my rose bushes with bark chips, something I didn't do last year, and I lost four plants as a result. We still need to dig up the rest of our potatoes, drain a pump in our pond, and a couple of other little things before icy cold hits.
How about you? Are you looking forward to winter? Running away to warmer weather instead? Staying home, snuggling down in front of a fire and don't care if it snows? Or are you a snow bunny heading for the ski slopes? What do you to to get you through the long, dreary days of winter?

We had a wonderful Fall except for the shortage of rain. I love Fall and Spring. Summer is too humid and this year was the worst. I used to love winter to cross-country ski, but health issues limit me, so now I am not looking forward to snow.
Linda, where do you live that you get high humidity? I probably wouldn't like summer either, if that was the case. We're in WA state, and have dry, warm to hot summers, which I love. You can have all our snow, we get lots!
