I'm afraid it's going to be a long winter

53 here this morning. My apple tree is dropping leaves all ready. We had just a few warm days here too. It never really felt like summer. We had snow (yes, really) about 2 hours from here 2 weeks ago!

The winters aren't as bad as they were when I was a kid. We don't get near as much snow any more. When I was in school we had several snow days a year. Last spring was the first time my son had a snow day. He is 14!

Really though you get used to them. They can feel really long sometimes but this is such a beautiful state. I have lived in Oregon, my DH has lived in Alaska, while we agree they are both wonderful states , Montana is just home! Come visit!!

When you do see a wooly worm, would you let me know? I haven't seen one since I moved here. Not sure there are any.
I still have a few hummingbirds at my feeders.

I sure will let you know! They seemed to have declined here but I still see a couple in the fall although i can never remember which stripe signifies the "hard" winter. Is it the more black it has on it, the harder the winter will be?

You mean it's summer? I think I missed it.

We're still 100 degrees hot here .. but I've seen birds flying south ... in those pretty v formations ...

It's been pretty cool here almost all summer. I've noticed some trees changing already, and I have seen one of my chickens eating a wooly caterpillars. LOL
I also noticed the birds nesting low, which I was taught that means a snowy winter. They did the same thing last year, and we had a lot of snow

I like snow though, so the more the better for me!

I am getting scared! The past 2 mornings were cold here and August is always brutal with heat here. It usually doesn't feel this cool until middle of DECEMBER???!!!! I hate to be cold and I am feeling a viciously cold winter coming on
