Winter is coming!

It's hard to believe the temperatures are so mild for this time of the year.
This weekend we were wearing short sleeves and enjoying the beautiful sunny weather.

Tonight we are watching the temperature as it is dropping way down.  We have wood stacked in the fireplace with kindling underneath so all we have to do tomorrow is light the fire. The flowers are stacked in the greenhouse and the warm weather has caused the tropical flowers to produce an abundance of blooms.  These photos of bouginvillas and geramiums was taken yesterday.

 The cabbages are "heading up" and they are outside in the cold. They will soon be ready to eat - if the extreme cold doesn't cause them to freeze.

I will update this page tomorrow with the actual temperature in the morning.   Update:  Temperature was 19 degrees the next day.

I will not be leaving home tomorrow unless I have to go to the market for some bread.  I will be sitting in front of the fireplace, reading a big stack of magazines and working on some DAR reports that are due Saturday when we have our annual brunch and business meeting in Enterprise.  I hope it warms up some before then.
