I can tell that winter is really here in my neck of the woods when our banana trees turn brown. One day green, next day rusty brown.
We had a real cold snap last week and even though I covered up my tomatoes that were just flourishing last week, all green and gorgeous, they all died. I picked the last of the green tomatoes this morning. Hope I'll want lots of fried green tomatoes for breakfast.
This morning, I was lopping off the dead heads of my long-running zinnias and tiny marigolds and putting the seeds in a bag for next year. They had just been sporting gorgeous purple, orange and yellow blossoms the day before.
Last night, I eagerly watched Life on Mars. A cliffhanger. Then I heard the announcer say, "Tune in January 28th for more Life on Mars....."
January. 28. th.
Can you believe this? I finally find a show I'm addicted to and then...they're putting on Lost or something like that for the holidays. Does this make sense?
Here today, gone tomorrow.
I bought a lot of my Thanksgiving Day dinner ingredients to prepare for a huge meal that will be gobbled down in one day next week.
And, Liberty is off for a whole week next week as soon as he gets off the bus.
A. Whole. Week.
Freedom today, freedom gone all next week! Then it's three weeks of school and two weeks off for Christmas break.
AAggHH.
Yep, it's winter all right. It comes in overnight on the Gulf Coast.

Oh---see this? Edy's Limited Edition Peppermint Ice Cream?
It IS here today but it will definitely be gone tomorrow!! I assure you.

Usually when we like a show, they take it off the air! Joan of Arcadia...I'm still bitter about that one. Todd's addicted to Eli Stone. I'm sure it will be on the chopping block soon.
Enjoy that ice cream. What's left of it!
It seems the 'here today' part gets shorter and shorter as I get older! Enjoy that ice-cream and the three weeks of school between freedom losses!
Michelle, I love Eli Stone also, and my husband just told me it will soon be gone (sob).
Why why why must there be so many days off and half days in school in November and December?
