we live in Kentucky , just 10 miles from Ohio & usually at this time of the year it's getting cold & we have the furnace turned on , but not this year . This year it's 85 degrees , sunny & beautiful . Of course the leaves are falling off the trees & we have cleaned out our garden so all our fall canning is done & on the shelves for winter use , but this weather is awesome ! The news says it will be this way till next Friday , then chilly air will push it's way into our area , but for now we are doing yard work & getting our lawn ready for winter . Hubby has called war on a family of chipmunks that so far have out smarted him . He purchased smoke bombs & put them in all 8 holes he had found & the little fur critters just dig new holes . So now hubby is determined to kill them or at least get them out of our yard . Today we are going to go to the "SALT festival" at Big Bone State Park. We have been to 3 festivals in the past week , they are fun , but they are all the same just different locations. All this beautiful weather is allowing us to get all our work done before the snow & ice arrive , then we can sit in front of the fireplace  & enjoy winter weather as it should be done .... 4951
