Joearcher 10 days ago Autumn DelightsYou got 9 out of 10! I got the Greek goddess one wrong Jan D. Wanechek 9 days ago I guess you don’t think a weasel changes color? They turn white and are then called ermine. EJT 10 days ago 9/10. Missed the hibernation question. Amber 10 days ago I really enjoy these quizzes even though I may not always get the 10 out of ten right !! Thanks for having them av Elaine 10 days ago 9/10. I also missed the hibernation question. Rich D 10 days ago 9/10 RDF 10 days ago 1 wrong but these wee great Paula Hegg 7 days ago Well, that’s a first for me….9 out of 10….and yeah, I don’t know or care about some Greek goddess spending time in the underworld. ROBERT 8 days ago If I had stayed with my first impulse on #8, I would have had a rare 10 of 10 (for me, anyway.) Hey, who changed my font and how do I change it back? Also, on #3, I knew 3 of the 4 weren’t, so the remaining had to be the one. Peggy 9 days ago My husband got 6/10 one of the rare times I beat him! Peggy 9 days ago 10/10 Dan 9 days ago 7 correct. Yeah, missed the hibernation one too.. Plus the flower and the goddess one! Colin Brown 9 days ago Weasel have a much more dramatic change than do arctic fox. They go from brown to very white. Arctic fox go from a silvery brown to white. The Mrs. and I have handled many of each, we are 10 of 10! Sam 9 days ago 10/10. Love me some Fall, but man-o-man I despise me some Winter…… Pat R 9 days ago I always learn a thing or two when doing these quizzes. Not saying I remember them all but ….. mike 9 days ago 8/10 my whole life I’ve been the fall guy DanJ 9 days ago 10 for 10, one of my better days but doesn’t make up for all the bad days! Marie 9 days ago 10 out of 10 this time! Melinda 9 days ago A dismal 5/10. I can never remember the difference between solstice and equinox. We just had the hunters moon, so missed that. Also, I thought a weasel changed to ermine in winter (where did I read that?). Better luck next week! CPerrin 9 days ago 8/10. I changed my first thought on the hibernation question, because I have squirrels in my yard in the summer but don’t remember seeing them in winter. I also obviously don’t know much about Greek mythology. Bchris 9 days ago 10/10! My best ever! I’m usually 7/10. Judy Jamison 9 days ago Got all ten right–maybe because fall is my favorite season. Living in NE Ohio, it makes up for the sometimes unpleasant winter and summer extremes. KateL 10 days ago I can look at it as half right or half wrong. Not my best. MarySummer Summerhill 10 days ago 9 out of ten Barb 10 days ago 10/10 Lana 10 days ago 8 of 10.
