All the leaves are brown and the sky is gray

It is trying so hard to snow today. There were some pretty good flakes coming down, but now they've dwindled. This is depressing me. Really. I finally acknowledged summer is over by putting away the sunscreen, bug spray, sun hats, and pool toys. Out came the gloves, scarves, hats, hand warmers, and boots. And if all you people from California comment and say how nice it is there, I will stick my tongue out at you! Luckily it is already November, so April doesn't seem too far away. Who am I kidding? April is eons away, and it is known to snow in Michigan in April. Good thing we have a trip to the Happiest Place on Earth (Walt Disney World) scheduled for the end of April. I might have to schedule myself a little trip to Mexico in February. Anyone want to come?

I've been trying to get Kyle to come on as a guest blogger. This is technically his site too, and I'm sure you're all getting sick of me. He says he has nothing interesting to say. I told him to give a brief summary of his dissertation, then I realized that would not be interesting. Ha ha. Guess I've set the bar too high. I'll see if the Bean wants to blog a bit someday. Here's a blast from the past video to make your day a little brighter. I certainly could use some sunshine! I'll try to get a video of little Asparagus soon.

Yma (just seeing if you're paying attention!)
