No, this isn't about "mad money". (Get it? *Ahem*) Today, November 7, is a cross quarter day -- exactly midway between the fall equinox and the winter solstice. So depending on whether your glass is half empty or half full, we are either "half way into fall" or "fall is half over". Take your pick.
And right on schedule, Atlanta is getting its first frost this week.

Oh man... frost? Already? Wow... I'm glad I don't live in such extreme climes...
Then we are evidently in the fall is half over cause we had snow flurries here on Tuesday and again yesterday. One town about 50 miles from here even had a "light coating" of the white crapola. (No, I don't hate winter, but the older I get, the less snow I appreciate seeing.)
ll - I don't know how I made it for a dozen years in New England. My southern blood is very thin, and I would rather be too hot than too cold.
jeni - once in a while I miss the white stuff - newly fallen snow can be so beautiful. But then I think about having to shovel a path to my car every morning before going to work and that takes the shine off the memory.
Y'all are gettin' some frost, but still no water. And our governor sez you ain't gettin' none of ours.
The air will be nice and crisp. I can't wait...
Half full, always.
Don't miss winter, not even a little bit. 15 years in CT beat that right out of me. Now I love reading Southern Living and see all the holiday decorations displayed against a green lawn, and not htinking that it looks weird.
Well, let's hope with the frost, you guys get a little water too. I'm feeling really bad for all of you. But how come you're getting frost and up here in the northeast we're only getting down to the mid-30s at night?
Here in Michigan it's already bloody winter.
