My neighbours also had the same problem but nobody really knows why! The next time we have quince you are definitely going to know about it.<BR/><BR/>Regards, CarolAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-13241897206214830602008-11-01T03:22:00.000+01:002008-11-01T03:22:00.000+01:00Lovely pictures today.

I thought that was possible.<BR/><BR/>But not to worry (I hope). There are many, many working to turn Carolina blue this year, and so far it's looking good. As of this morning, a news story said that more than half the voters had voted early.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-34575134279718509472008-11-01T00:00:00.000+01:002008-11-01T00:00:00.000+01:00We all hit dry spells in our blogging life but you...We all hit dry spells in our blogging life but your photos can always fill in when words fail.

I suspected you might be the sneaky type! But that's a good tip.<BR/><BR/>Susie, no, we have not tried to register to vote in the U.S. as expatriates. My understanding is that we would have to vote in California, since that's where we lived last, and only in presidential elections. There wasn't much to motivate us to do that, since the California results are pretty predictable these days.<BR/><BR/>Gotta run, the grass (or collard plants, in this case) are still growing and I need to get out there and keep an eye on them.

If that many people are saying the same thing, we must all be right (grin). It's amazing to see the shift in seasons happen so quickly. One day your photos have a long, lazy summer sunshine quality and the next day, or so it seems, it's snowing. You even manage to make watching the grass grow interesting. <BR/><BR/>Just out of curiosity, are you able to vote absentee? It's fascinating to read accounts of people spending hours waiting in line to vote just to make sure that their votes count. Regardless of one's politics, it is indeed an interesting time. <BR/><BR/>...Susiesusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14017788096350527796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18071407.post-70211607877523327902008-10-31T15:08:00.000+01:002008-10-31T15:08:00.000+01:00Walt - dont worry about your 1024limit.

I find it very interesting, love your photos. I also read Walts..both very different, but both a good read. <BR/><BR/>So here is to the next 3 years. I started my blog January 2007, and sometimes I find it a struggle to post. I just wait for a while, to see what comes up. Off on our holidays soon, so that will be of interest I hope.Anne in Oxfordshirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14479380647784781207noreply@blogger.com
