I remember that it was pale blue with a white top and it was big.  Paying $100 for it was cheaper at the time than flying from Orlando to central Illinois.  I never even bothered to register it here in Illinois since I was only here two weeks before going to Ballston Spa , New York.

What in tarnation did you have to go to Ballston Spa for?  I grew up three miles from BS.

I'm from Arizona. I'm not used to...seasons. You would think there would be a gradual change between them...but NO. Seasons change in an instant.

Iowa September: 80's for a high, 50's for a low.
Went all the way until Oct 5th. Now its 30 for a low and 50's for a high. it will only get colder from here on out.
Oct 4th. High 82 degrees.
Oct 5th: 52 for a high. 30 friggen degrees difference in a single day! 30 was the overnight low!
Oct 6th 55 degrees for our projected high. at 10 AM the temps have climbed from 30 to 39.

This is how the season's change here in Iowa. God just flips a switch.

Welcome to New England.  If you don't like the weather, wait a minute....

75 degrees on Saturday, 55 on Sunday . . . 44 this morning. I put a jacket on to go to work for the first time this season. The trees are beautiful though!

"We will preserve for our children (America), the last best hope of man on earth, or we will sentence them to take the first step into a thousand years of darkness. If we fail, at least let our children and our children's children say of us we justified our brief moment here. We did all that could be done."  -- Ronald Reagan.

Where I grew up there was a coulee just out of town with an assortment of different types of trees. in the fall it looked like a rainbow blew up , I thought was a beautiful sight to behold.

It is said that branches draw their life from the vine. Each is separate yet all are one as they share one life giving stem . The Bible tells us we are called to a similar union in life, our lives with the life of God. We are incorporated into him; made sharers in his life. Apart from this union we can do nothing.

My new place has these in-wall space heaters.  It was a little cool this morning so I turned them on while I was getting ready for work.  It felt so nice.
