A F-F-F-rosty Good Morning to Everyone!

Brrrrr! It's turned cold here. We stand at 34 degrees currently.
At least there is no wind and the sun is out.
Would you believe, 73 is predicted by Saturday?
(We get roller-coaster weather around here this time of year.)

OK, our count:
Days to the Season: 14 (Two weeks from today!)
Days to Christmas Day: 56 (Eight weeks from today!)
Days to Halloween: 1 (TOMORROW!! Enough said.)

Well, tomorrow kicks off the string of 4 holidays (Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years)!
Don't you love having so much to celebrate so close together? Makes me feel right festive!

Have a Thrilling Thursday/Fantastic Friday Eve, everybody!

Still warm here in the Rocky Mountain west -- days near the mid 70s, nights in the 40s. They say this will likely be our warmest Halloween on record. It'll be nice to go trick or treating with the kids not having to wear parkas over their costumes. But, they do say winter should be here next week. 'bout time!

Is anyone here from the old site, Oganized Christmas? I wonder what happened to everyone.

Can't say I remember Bing singing about a white Halloween...But we got one...Still snow on the ground when I left this morning...Earliest snow I ever remember...Our first year in this neighborhood we had a slight dusting of snow on Halloween morning but nuttin' like this...It's a mess too...Leaves, snow, mud, sticks, branches, all rolled into one pile of muck...I like the change of the seasons but not all of the seasons at one time!!!

Went on another of my "Last Gasp of Classic Rock" jaunts last night when I went to see The Who...Da boys still got it...Not bad for sixty-four years old...I fear that my concert days are numbered...And that saddens me...But I guess I can't be a teenager forever...

Good morning!!! :hi:

I had to do a double take at my thermometer this morning when I looked & it said 23º!!! BRRRRRR!!! Lots of frost on the rooftops this morning!! But it's supposed to be 68º by Saturday! I wish it would either get cold & stay cold, or get warm & stay warm!!! We are heading into the wrong season for warm, so it might as well stay cold!!! :smile:

I can't believe the clocks turn back THIS weekend already!!! That means there will be about 1 1/2 hours of daylight left when I get off work & it won't be long & there will only be 1 hour of daylight left!! Kinda depressing.... Makes me want to put on my pj's as soon as I get home! Ah well...might as well enjoy it!!!

Enjoy the snow Jayish!!!! :snowball

:

Hope you all have a great day!!!

Good Friday eve everyone. Wow, two weeks till the season, were getting close. The halloween decs are coming down in stores and Christmas is going up in full force....

I'm jealous of the snow..shoot at this point i would take a chilly breezy, but nope we are still cooking at 94 degrees today...Yeehaw Arizona!!

Nice and cold here but, it's expected to warm up to the 60's on Friday. Oh well, the grass needs cut anyway and the hubby doesn't like to go out there and do it when it's cold! Sissy! Went to K-Mart today and saw that they sprayed the fake snow in a can on the garden shop doors. That's when it's officially Christmas in the store. When they frost the windows up they have about all of their stock out on the shelves. I noticed that there isn't much left for Halloween and more Christmas stuff is being brough out. Now if they would just resume playing Christmas music in the Christmas section it would be nearly perfect!
