Low tonight=15F? !! Probably should pile leaves on those foxgloves greening up, if the wind ever dies down.

Hardy Succulents: Book Review

If winter is slumber and spring is birth, and summer is life, then autumn rounds out to be reflection. It’s a time of year when the leaves are down and the harvest is in and the perennials are gone. Mother Earth just closed up the drapes on another year and it’s time to reflect on what’s come before.

I was disappointed — er — relieved. It was 25 when I got up Monday. Not nearly so bad as I was expecting.

Happy Birthday, Kathy! I remember celebrating it last year with lots of our mutual blogging friends. Hope it’s been great.

Thank you, all, for the birthday greetings!
My wireless max-min thermometer says it got down to 16F just before dawn this morning. Plants seem to have suffered more from chicken scratching than the cold. Nothing was really that far along, though the heucheras that came emerged from snowmelt unscathed are looking a bit more tattered lately. They’re predicting lows in the upper 20s tonight.
