Yes I agree about winter but I seem to handle the cold so much better than this heat we have. My husband was away on business last year during our big blizzard
and I learned how to use the snowblower, my driveway is 120 ft long, now that I conquered that the snow doesn't bother me as much
I live on the central coast of California. It felt like fall all day yesterday- still warm but had a touch of briskness to the air. It was beautiful. I too can't wait for pumpkins, cider and Halloween. My chicks are only a week old now but I can't wait until they are out in the newly built coop with pumpkins lined up against the fences!
