News For the Week of October 8, 2012

The jackets and sweaters and even Bob’s insulated coveralls came out over the weekend with the cooler temperatures. I am never ready to bundle up against the cold, but it was either put on a sweater or shiver, so I gave in to fall.

I brought some of my flowers into the house Sunday evening, afraid they were going to get frozen, but it didn’t get that cold here and we didn’t even get any frost. I am glad, I like to keep my flowers as long as possible and with the dry hot summer they just started looking good around the last of August.
