    Finally... we're starting to get some Fall temperatures.
    Had a light frost on the windshield of the truck this morning. I was so excited! I've been putting off my move, waiting on the cooler weather. Packing up the plants and moving them to the house this weekend. woohoo!

    So how is it that you live almost 250 miles south of me and you had a frost last night but we didn't?? I know I live in what is called the 'heat island' thru the middle of Dallas County but I'm closer to the north pole than you are :rolleyes:

    I dunno! :headscratch: Maybe it's because of the moisture since we're right on the river??

    Congratulations on your frost cherylad. I'm even closer to the North Pole than any of you, and all I want for Christmas is an early spring. :D

    Cheryl, no frost here in central Texas, either.
    Be careful while moving, don't strain your back or get overtired, and enjoy the move! We'll all be thinking of you and your plants settling in.

    We've had plenty of frosts here in Scotland Cheryl. If I'd known you were waiting for some I'd have gladly let you have mine!! :D :D
    Good luck with the move now that the cooler weather has finally arrived for you.
