> Freeze warnings tonight. I brought in the hanging baskets and covered the flower bed by the front porch. We switched the heat on and the air conditioner off. Tomorrow, if I work in the yard, I will wear a sweater instead of insect repellent. I will probably wake up in the middle of the night thinking about tropical beaches with palm trees. Winter must be on the way.

Howard, has anyone ever told you that not only are you named after the bear in Sleepless Seattle but you are also named after the little known member of an English Pop group called Take That? Did you have them in America about 8 years ago? Just wondering........

It's freezing in England too. Where are you in America? Do you live in one of those states that is God's Icebox in the winter and God's Barbeque in the summer? Where I live (Essex), the weather can't make up it's mind whether it's going to be cold, hot, snowy or rainy.

And I thought it was only English people who talk about the weather.
