Signs of fall include kales and cabbages, mums and pansies.
Winter pansies will bloom all winter and even survive sub-zero temperatures for a fairly short period of time. Once spring gets here, they will bloom hardily until it gets really hot in June.
The ornamental kale and cabbage get fairly leggy by spring. Mums are strange. No comment.
Good for those who have said they will vote YES for a clean CR! Both my congressman, Rob Wittman and Elena’s congressman, Frank Wolf have stated they are now willing to send that clean CR. It only will take 217 votes to reopen the government today. Congressman Bill Young, one of my favorites, has also said yes to the clean CR.
From looking at the math, it appears that John Boehner is simply not being truthful He does have the votes if he adds the republicans noted in the video to the 195 definite democratic yeses,. Boehner, do the math!
This has really gone on too long. Today the VA regional offices will shut down because of additional furloughs. Furthermore, we are only 9 days away from the debt ceiling deadline. The debt ceiling issue absolutely must be resolved. The nation’s economy is at risk. This is not a game of chicken and it cannot be treated like a game.
I would encourage the President to simply bypass congress and do what is necessary to keep our nation afloat. We can’t allow juvenile delinquents to bring this nation to its knees.
Ah ! well a-day ! what evil looks
Had I from old and young !
Instead of the cross, the Albatross
About my neck was hung.

RICHMOND — Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli II made scant reference to the federal shutdown and said nothing at all about Sen. Ted Cruz (Tex.) on Saturday, when the two Republicans both addressed a conservative group.
But Cuccinelli, the GOP nominee for governor, met privately with Cruz before the event and urged him to find a solution to the shutdown, his campaign said.
Democrats have pounded Cuccinelli all week over his plans to appear at a Family Foundation dinner headlined by Cruz, widely considered the architect of the shutdown as a means of defunding the Affordable Care Act. Cuccinelli has said repeatedly that he disagrees with the tactic despite his fierce opposition the federal health-care law known informally as Obamacare.
The impasse in Washington has forced Cuccinelli to walk a fine line: between his longtime tea party supporters, who regard Cruz as a hero, and independent voters in a state with a large federal workforce, who tend to take a dim view of Obamacare but an even dimmer one of the shutdown.
