A coworker asked, "What do you care? You're moving." Well, I've nurtured this place for 15 years, and while I can't take it with me I still don't want to see it all trashed.

Freeze
It looks like a neutron bomb went off in my garden. All of my tropicals are ruined. The oranges, which were just about ready to pick, will likely be mush once everything melts.

I know what you mean Lou. I still occasionally drive by the house I grew up in and cringe. All the work I did with my dad planting trees and gardening, the painting and adding shutters, redoing our driveway...to see what it has become now. Argh!
My great-great grandparents settled in Hillister in the late 1800s. Until the 1990s we still owned the property but finally had to sell it. It was a beautiful log cabin on a hillside above a lake with huge trees all around. When we sold it they cut all the trees and knocked down the log cabin my great grandfather built during the great depression. My father won't even go look at it. Sometimes you just have to move on. Family is more important than a house.
It has just started snowing here in Massachusetts, winter has arrived. I hate the winter.
The post-Daylight-savings days when the sky goes dark at 4:30 PM are depressing...
Anon has it right. It stinks leaving work and it's already getting dark. Ugh.
Skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and studded tires for the mountain bike...what's not to like?
