Was warm and windy the other night–which made for nice walk to look at neighborhood lights. Supposed to be 20s tonight–which will make for nice walk to look at neighborhood lights. haha
Since finally had hard freeze, killing frost, I can now clean up the flower beds. I did have a lot of summer plants still blooming–marigolds, white impatiens, red salvia, elephant ears, and a pink begonia–but no more– Roses took a hit too–but buds might still bloom. Camelias aren’t dong anything.
Is Christmas Eve only two weeks away? Hmmm
A number of daffodil spouts are up, and I found some crocus green shoots too.
My massive butterfly bush I trimmed back. Different to have so much space now.

we had a high of 20 today! brrrrr peace, Al
It was -12 F when I came home from work this morning… and that was air temp, not windchill. It is ugly cold here. (not good weather for a walk to check out the lights, lol.)
The plants know the seasons better than we do. Sometimes things seem out of sync but can’t argue with a plant! Merry Christmas Wil. Love, Nancy
