Whew! I got all the plants in before the first pitch. That ficus sure likes spending the summer behind the fence. I might need to get another string of lights to cover it adequately this Christmas.
Dang, you think it will get that cold tonight? I’ve brought in a few plants, but the majority are still outside. They are on the porch, so maybe they’ll be protected, or maybe the weathermen will be wrong, again.
OB and I still haven’t turned on the boiler, just having fires on the brisk nights. The first time the fire department turned up. Some passerby saw the smoke coming out the chimney and called the FD. So the FD rolled, Dan let them play with their thermo-imaging stuff, and they were happy. And our house was not burning down. :)
I had a ficus once that I had to buy new strings of light for every year. I can’t remember what happened to it, probably didn’t bring it inside soon enough one year :(
Hasn’t this wind been fierce? Jackson came in very early tonight. I think the little guy is just plumb wore out.
