It's odd enjoying the colored leaves, knowing they should have been on the ground by now. I hope that every tiny, eco-friendly step each of us takes will add up to make a difference.

Recently I was told (by my mother) that the weather-trackers are saying this will be the worst since the 1930s. Having watched the woolly worms for the last few years turn solid, or almost solid, black, I don't really believe all the so-called indicators any more. Like you, I'd welcome a tough winter if it would reset our weather and get it back to where it was when I was younger. I worries me that we have such mild winters here in Kentucky these days.
