How's The Weather?

[cat in a bag]

Here's one from our Assiniboine Park - those geese should be flying south by now!

Our voting place is at our event center and Tuesday when we went over, there were hundreds of geese in the empty RV parking spots there. Fresh snow, all these beautiful geese. I wish I had taken a picture, they were gorgeous.

I said the same thing, that they should be moving south. Scott said they were probably taking a little rest, as many of them as there were.

Makes for a pretty picture, though. Looks like one that would be on a calendar.

I didn't take it - it was from a website asking people what would they like to do in Winnipeg

Most people just go down to The Forks to hang out and eat (it's at the junction of the Red and Assiniboine rivers).

It's nice to walk in the park - I did it a while back but you have to watch where you step!

Christmas decorations seem to be on the shelves earlier every year. I don't think Christmas merchandise or décor should be out until
after Remembrance Day. It seems disrespectful. Just my opinion.

I agree! In ten years the Christmas decorations will be out in July...

It's getting colder here and rainy today. All the Christmas decorations are up in town. Wanting to get my set up soon. Maybe next week.

Nothing but rain today...I still walked my dog!

The rain is gone but the cold is refreshing. The trees are wet and shaggy and the distant hills are a dim green and nutmeg. The autumn colors are startling and this is the brief moment in Alabama when the leaves dazzle. Persimmon, orange, and Christmas candy colors. The silver oaks are daggers of fire and other dark, gnarled staffs are aflame with shivering gold. I dropped off my sister at her house and saw a red vine snaking up a live oak.

No snow and no winter here yet. Been rainy and 6C during the days. Let's see if we get a white Christmas this year at all.

A NASA scientist has warned that a lack of sunspots could soon bring record cold. Seems the sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the space age and the thermosphere (the uppermost layer of air around our planet) is cooling and shrinking which is decreasing the radius of earth's atmosphere. He warns it could happen in a matter of months if current trends continue… A space age record for cold.

Snow is predicted here for Thursday. I’m ordering propane today for the fireplace and over the weekend I’ll have to make sure the generator is working. Global warming… where are you when we need you?

The wind hurts my face… Why do I live where the wind hurts my face?

Dear Doc Creed, I want to live in your world because your descriptions paint such vivid pictures in my mind.

We're scheduled for snow tomorrow night......it's been raining for months now, and the temperature drop is almost unbearable. Why do I live in the land of perpetual precipitation?
I'm starting to eyeball a hut in Tahiti......probably the one right next to yours. Fair warning!!

What a beautiful tribute to Fall. You're talented Doc
