We've had a whiter winter than we've had in 4 or 5 years
and I'm not tired of it yet.
Just think of how hot summer can get.
Sorry, Tom, your winter would change my mind.

We have been open for most Winters about the same amount of time you have been white.

I know you are loving your white winter..I can’t complain about this one here really..I am enjoying puttering around in the yard so I like this warm spell.

I pruned some limbs on the youpon again and stopped before my back yelled at me. I will have some 60s days coming up that will be warm enough for me to to do a bit each day.
I hate cutting off the limbs loaded with red berries but now is the time...I’ll need to do the same to the nandina ..trim off the berries before it shoots up too high.
