Hi Gayle...how did you know that I snuck onto this list ? I signed up a week ago to see what it was like and see a whole lot of familiar names :) Now I get twice as much email!! It snowed all day Friday, but it's sitting on the lawns and gardens and not on the roads. I got the garden ready this week for winter, so what fell is just fine, except for a few shrubs that are hanging to the ground with the weight of this stuff. It wouldn't be so bad if the leaves were off. We have not had a frost here yet so things are a little weird!! Tkae care and hope all the Canucks on this list have a wonderful Thanksgiving...we are blessed!
