December weather, God bless you with Merry Gentlewinds.

Well it just seems like yesterday we had last years Christmas and here we are again. I find the weather here delightful and my garden still pumping. I have a heirloom tiny cherry tomato I am going to string with mini lights. It's loaded with babies. If it gets too chilly we'll plug it in.

You bet, "Oh,Well" darius, that NC Black ice can be treacherous and I/we don't want you or me out in it.

LOL, Lilypon, now that is COLD.

It is about 26 degrees here, but the wind stopped. Weather advisory for snow, slet and freezing rain from midnight till noon tomorrow. Ho hum - I might take a day off.

brrrrr

26° here, too, and we're under a snow advisory, with 3-5" expected by tomorrow. I really hope so.

It was a gorgeous day here today. The high was somewhere around 80° with enough wind to discourage most of the mosquitoes. I got a lot done in the backyard and the girls had a great time playing outside. There is a cold front moving in tomorrow and we are going to get some MUCH needed rain. Actually, it looks like it is going to rain off and on all week. November weather, now that December is here.

The bad weather moves in tonight so I'll be in the yard all afternoon getting cuttings and just reining-in some wild.
Last night I got a purple bean and intertwined Bleeding hearts whacked back. I covet no grass so I have potatoe vines over a great deal of my sandy yard.

It would be a good day to go out and fly kites if both of my bunnies didn't have the flu, poor things. As it is, we're snuggling on the couch watching Kipper movies.

I'm so glad you are finally home, Sidney! How is your hand doing?

~ Marylyn

Thanks for asking Marylyn.
It is healing, but the wound area is hard and numb and not infected so I am pleased. I will be glad when I see another MD.
