This morning is the coldest day of winter so far where I live, it's 17° (F) or -8° (C) outside It even snowed a bit yesterday, not much, just enough to frost the rooftops. The high today is 32°/0° (F/C). Almost shirt sleeve weather in Minnesota 😆.
Hmmm ... when I lived in Minnesota, many people noted that I talked funny. They thought I had a deep southern accent, which I thought was hilarious because I'm from California, originally. My Californian accent though, if there is such a thing, is tempered by decades in the military where we tended to blend. Anyway, I thought Minnesotans had accents similar to Canadians, which is subtly different from other places in the US, that I've lived the accent quickly became undistinguishable to my ears.

#ThisWeek : #colour#foliage#seed and #sun (also rain!) for #SixOnSaturday a lot of leaves on the ground, but still colour to be found, especially in the understory and some plants /trees that turn later than others.
Top left Prunus- a plum variety growing well in the last few years-- after its pollinating mate died 🙄 Centre Ontario native Aralia racemosa ripened some berries, though the plants have mostly frozen down, now. #garden@plants#NativePlants#autumn#fall#Alberta#October cont---
#Fall is my favorite season. The weather and #foliage put me in a good mood, I #sleep well, and I can go back to long #cardio days. I feel so good I can easily think of THREE GOOD THINGS™️!
