Here in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois (USDA zone 5b) I'm running around trying
to get all of my plants either in or out of the ground (as applicable).
Yesterday the ground was frozen, but today things thawed enough to get
my bulbs in. :)
Winter is early this year, as we're expecting temperatures around 15F (-9.5C)
tomorrow night with windchills around 0F (-18C).
Once I get everything settled in and it's too late to work outside I'll
probably start perusing catalogs and making next year's wish lists, so
I know I'll be busier on the list. :)

Wow! Do you mind if I ask where you're moving? My Mom was born in Bordeaux
and raised in Biarritz, so I have lots of family in the Basque region of
France.
