of trees here in eastern Montana last evening. They are usually all bare by now and at least half of them in town are still half green.

Bird migration is off this year too. We still have seagulls around and they usually bug out a month and a half earlier than this.

How are the bugs where you all are? Still have skeeter, no-see-ums, lady bugs, dragon flies and butter flies way up here in the ususally frozen north. The toads stayed out and about 5 weeks longer than usual too.

Hell, I still have tomato vines producing fruit AND still blooming!
Maybe we don't have to move to the Southwest to enjoy gardening year 'round in our retirement... Might just stay put and do it here.
