That's just flat out COLD!

But Brilliant ! For tomorrow I might suggest apple pie with a side of vanilla ice cream.

Home made apple pie?

With a fancy crust top?

EW!!!!! I've been having trouble sleeping. There aren't a lot in the house but right before I fall asleep my brain keeps telling me they're in my bed. We have to lock the cat out of the catio at night to keep them out of the house & when you open the front door to let the dogs out a half dz of them fall down on you. Its so creepy. I don't know if you guys remember me crying about them last year, but the ground is moving there are so many.

Hows your gnat problem? Slowing down at all?

I feel so bad for you! I have this problem as well. If a see a bug in my room before bed I get the creepy crawlies. The back of my throat will tickle. . and my ears. . and my imagination runs wild telling me there are bugs on me.
For some reason this does not happen when I am camping. . weird huh.
Maybe I just expect to see bugs outside so it doesn't effect me the same?
I have even had a tree frog jumping around in my tent all night before bouncing everywhere trying to get out. Didn't bother me.
Well. . once I knew what it was anyway.

It is snowing at my parents house across town!!

Not really. . but it looks like it. They planted some kind of hybrid willow trees in their yard 30 plus years ago. . and now they are humongous. Most of them are diseased and dying. Big pita.
But every year they make it snow for a couple days with whatever it is that blows off of them. It is insane! You can't even stand outside there right now. It goes up your nose. . in your eyes . .it is something to see.

Yikes Phil! How much farther do you have to go???

It was about and hour drive.... We made it home.... But there was about a dozen cars in the ditch. The pick up truck was the only serious accident

I suspect the Population explosion is because we have had lots of moisture this year and last.
