What are the trees like in your area? We are pretty much at peak right now, and the colors are very vibrant. Much different than last year when everything just turned brown and died.

We are at peak and have had a lot of red and oranges. It has been very pretty.
My Dad and Step Mother are leaf peeping at the Dells for this week. I am so jealous!

When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
We still have a lot of green, and a lot of naked. Colours are not particularly vibrant this year. Might be because of all the rain (and then even more rain) we had from mid May straight through to the end of August.
We had no rain last year, and that played a part in the dullness. This year we didn't have tons of rain, but had more in September. That may have helped.
Here in the southern Hudson Valley NY, I think we are close to peak colour, although the colors are a little bit dull, likely because we’ve had a lot of rain as well.

Yes, it was really good wasn't it? Tom Hanks is a treasure.

Heck, I live in NC and even I don't think of 46F to be cold. Still shorts and t-shirt weather. Also, doesn't the trailer have a heater?

Hubs and I are heading up to the White Mtns. of NH tomorrow for a few days. From what I've read, their foliage season has been a bit extended for this late in October -- parts of areas are a combo of peak, and past peak. Will enjoy what we see, even though we're not heading up there specifically for leaf peeping!
He's my favorite actor.

I'm on Long Island. We have lots of pick your own orchards out east - along with pumpkin picking. We would go every year as a big group when the kids were little but the kids are too old for the corn mazes and hay rides now and i don't really feel like paying $25 for a small bag of apples or $30 for a medium pumpkin

The trailer has a furnace and an electric fireplace, and blankets and sleeping bags. The larger point is that Mike is gone 10 hours/day for work and I have zero interest in being huddled up in a trailer (with limited cable and no Blue Jays), when I could be home.
The trailer is fun when I can be outside all day, hanging around the lake, and visiting our friends. There is nobody left out there; everyone has gone home.
It’s warming up for a couple of days, so I’ll head out there to pack up all the clothes and bedding, empty the fridge, scrub everything until it shines, and wash the floors. We have to be out of there by the 31st. We’ll winterize and pull in the slides this weekend.

I didn't think I had a favorite actor, but I must admit that every single movie I've watched that stars Tom Hanks...he was ALWAYS great

I had some kids in my room working on homework at the end of the day and one of the girls started humming Christmas. I giggled a little and she apologized for the Christmas music so early. I laughed and put on Christmas music and we all had a good discussion about Christmas music. Most of us agreed it isn't too early for Christmas music yet (or decorations).
I'll skip the Halloween party and jump to our Polar Express Day right now. The kids wear their pajamas, and we read the book and watch the movie.
