IT'S JUST A MATTER OF TIME


Sitting here less than two weeks before Christmas in 80 degree weather makes you wonder, "Where's winter?" Most years we get a really cold spell just around Christmas, and sometimes it even freezes for a couple of days. And usually by that time we have lost summer's flowers to frost and had to break out sweaters; at least in the morning. And usually by that time we are bemoaning the loss of some garden favorite - but not this year. 

Crazy Squirrel

Once the chill arrives flowers will be gone; greens will give way to browns; flocks of birds will show up at the feeders.

Reading indoors will replace balmy hours spent outside reading & watching acrobatic squirrels dangle from trees in death-defying feats.

The fireplace will replace the patio.

Only three weeks remain before the end of the year, and it's just a matter of time!
