A pleasant,tranquil time in late Autumn weatherwise after a freeze of any sort is how I describe indian summer in Minnesota. Well this is what we are having for the next few days here. Today it is about 65 right now at noon and expected to reach 70. In the mid to high 60's till Monday as well expected. The sun is shining, the skies are a deep clear blue, the biurds and small critters running rampant to store up foods for the cold winter months ahead shortly. My Buster loves being oputside as well. He is shown here sniffing for bones he may have left over in the back yard. I still have a few Coneflowers in blloom as well. So how's the weather at your end? Is it cold yet? Has the temps got below freezing much for you? Or are you also experiencing IIndian Summer. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

It's been a beautful day.....yesterday was too...I hope I don't get too used to the nice weather as it won't be long and we'll be up to our rears in snow! Hopefully not until December.

This weekend we are supposed to be in the low to mid 80's during the day and upper 50's to low 60's at night. We are leaving tomorrow to go to my daughter's and the weather there is supposed to be lower 80's day and low to mid 50's at night. Not sure if that would be considered Indian Summer in Texas or just regular weather for us. hahaha

Well as usual the photo did not go through. No biggie I have another discussion with a better shot of Buster enjoying the sunshine. I love days like this as well come this time of year. But being a Minnesotan I am READY for the snow and cold already. Almost, I have to put up my Christmas lights etc outside before it gets too cold. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

You are gonig to reach 70? Wow, from looking at our local weather, the highest we are going to get is 60..But with the sun, 60 is still good and I hope that we get at least one or two days of 70's before winter sets in..

Brrr, not me..The only benefit to cold and snow is if it gets cold enough long enough, it kills off most insects..

Wow, I did not think it would be warmer in Minnesota than New Jersey! It is only 46 right now (1:00 pm). Two days ago, we had a sudden snowfall that came out of nowhere (it didn't stick, but it was still no fun to drive in). It has been going down to nearly freezing at night all week. I don't think this is going to be a great winter...

Oh give it time, this will be in your area in a week or so I bet. I saw the news of the Nordeastearner storm that hit your area. YIKES! Halloween of 1990 or 1991 we got 49 inches of snow in a 24 hour period. SAo it isn't that unusual for it to hit us this early either. No snowfall yet here thou8gh. Just some flurries once has beenm it. I am ready though for the snow and cold. HAPPY POSTINGS FROM GRANDPA BOB !!~

You were right...it was warm here the following week like you said! Now it is back to being a little too chilly again, though at least there hasn't been any more snow!

Your Minnesota weather sounds like Alabama. Only a few days ago we had freezing temperatures in the morning and very cool weather during the day. It was 70 yesterday and supposed to be 72 today. Right now it is 63 and pretty outside. It was very cold this morning around 10, though, when my daughter-in-law brought my grandson over for me to keep today. But it seems to have warmed up somewhat.

hi Grandpa Bob we are having the most biazrre weather even for southern California as its getting up close to 85 even 90 and its almost November here. Oh and its so dry too its scary since those horrible fires from last year at the same time. For a week the air was so full of smoke and ashes we couldnt have our windows open and had to have our air conditioner on low all day. Hope that doesnt happen this fall. but it wont matter to much to me as Saturday we are moving up state close to San Francisco. oh how I remember those indian summers back in my home state of South Dakota. the sky was blue the air warm, no smog and the ducks and geese were taking off in vs across the sky. The nights here havent even got cooler yet. I get your coneflowers are still very pretty. happy mylotting from hatley.

What's freezing? We don't have freezing here in California except for up in the mountains. That's so we can have ski resorts. lol But anyway the weather here has been mostly in the 80's. Today we had a sudden dropoff and it was in the 60's when I went to lunch. Hope it's not too cool for Halloween. After that it can get cold if it likes!

We had colder than normal temps here in Alabama the last few days and some frost, but now it's supposed to warm back up for a few days. It's not supposed to be really cold here yet though.

I am glad the weather is pleasant with you. We have had snow here in Belfast and 0 degrees. It is usually around 10 degrees at this time of year but it absolutely freezing. I woke up on Tuesday to find the hills and car covered in snow. I think the weather all over the world is a bit odd at the moment. They said last month that we would have a mild winter, but I cannot see it happening here. I have a few roses on my climber in bloom, but all the lovely flowers are gone now until spring. I hate the cold and wish we where having an Indian summer right now.
