Here in Nashville, it's even darker than usual at this
time due to it being a cloudy day.  We've had two much
needed showers and it will be a bit cool on Sunday.

 
The shorter days overall affect me mostly.  I can't drive well in
the dark now.  Cataracts starting but holding off on the surgery
until I have medicare (combined with tricare fpr life = no bill).

 
I have started finding night driving to be a problem. I have
cataracts developing in both eyes but I have a more serious issue
with my right eye and have almost no central vision so I can't
usually see what I am looking at. Peripheral vision is fine. I am
going to have to have the cataract done in my left eye done one of
these days. They generally do one eye and let it heal before they do
the second one.  I won't have a good eye to rely on while the other
recovers.

Normal to affect both eyes but one be worse.  My left eye is worse so
will be done first then back about 3 weeks later for the other one.

On temps, already getting a bit cool so had the heat on some
evenings.

 
We have had three nights in a row with heavy frost. The leaves have
changed colour and are falling like mad. I have to spend some time
every day raking, blowing and mulching them.

No so here.  On leaves we just run over them (a few times if they clump
up).  This naturally fertilizes the yard.  Same with raking grass.  Out
lawn is better than most and no chemicals used.  Just natures own way
of mulching with a little assist to make it degrade to mulch.
