Happy first day of winter!

11 years ago

The weatherman so kindly reminded me that today is the first day of winter so just passing on the cheer to those in the upper plains, midwest and east.

With 6 nights below 0 this month thus far (exceeded all of last winter) and a low of -8 (matched the coldest day in 3 years) before winter even started is down right depressing. I'm going to roll with the holidays then someone is going to have to wake me when spring hits.

All I can say is keep that snow coming! 4-8" on its way.

Woke up to an unseasonable 54 degrees this morning. But I see in the forecast that colder days are ahead. Christmas day should be normal.

It's a georgeous first spring evening here, but only the daffs are blooming and since this morning some maples have a shimmer of red.I just can smell your sweet peas. They don't do well in my garden, the time between spring weather and hot temps is too short I think. Envy you for your spectacular azalea.

Hi Bonnie, so glad you were able to stop by and share your table with us. Congratulations on the teaching job too! Love your table and chairs and your sunroom is a perfect place to eat and enjoy the outdoors without any little uninvited guests like we get outside. Pretty set of dishes and your flowers really pulled the color from the middle of the plates. Very nice, hope you had a fun evening. Luvs

Going to 70 F. here tomorrow. Front comes in a few days with heavy rain, then colder. Mini drought busted here.

Big plants (mostly palms and Citrus) are going out to get hosed down.

Happy Winter & Merry X-Mas, and Happy New Year!

It is the winter solstice, and from here on, the days get longer. That is something worth celebrating! Happy Solstice, Christmas, New Years, and all winter holidays to everyone!
