Re: Re: Re: bringing the yard inside

Got down in the 40's last night here. Woke up shivering even w/ a winter
nightshirt on. Had to fire up the bedroom heater. Sugar was grateful.
Hate to have to do that before November, but next week it will be back
to normal - thank goodness.

I'm trying to see if I can make it through October w/out turning on the

heat.  It's about 61 F in the house when I get up in the morning.  But if it

drops below 60, I may just have to break down.
