Is this really November 28?

I think that these will clash with my Christmas decorations, so I will follow Mother Nature’s lead and hold off a while longer.

    It’s been pretty chilly here, and we’ve already had snow, but when I looked outside this morning, one sweet alyssum plant in the back yard was still stubbornly blooming. And when I went downtown to mail a certain mysterious package to Integrity1st, I noticed that a couple of petunias were still blooming in front of the post office. Amazing.

      I had pansies on Thanksgiving one year back in the 90s. I think that year was the one the warmists point to as “proof positive” of their dingbat theories.

        I remember one year when we didn’t have a killing frost until November — extremely unusual for this part of the country. The reason I remember it is that my youngest daughter was taking figure skating lessons at the time, at the indoor ice arena at the county rec park… so I would get her all bundled up in her winter clothes to go to her class, and when I took her there, there were still flowers blooming around the other buildings at the park — and a pile of snow (from the zamboni) outside the building that contained the skating rink. It seemed so incongruous!

    Speaking of incongruous … one year, Dearest went to some family thing and got stranded by a record-breaking, unbelievably humongous, ice and snow blizzard that knocked out power and closed roads where he was staying.

    As I recall, it was early October and we had this balmy, beautiful sunny Monday morning on which I had to call his office and explain why he was not able to come into work. Fortunately, the secretary had seen the news! LOL
