Here, too, but it's 48, rainy, and raw. But, the house is decorated very nicely (I got a big string of C-9 bulbs around the garage door to match the entry doors this year), electric candles in every window, four trees of the 2'-9' height are up and decorated, a fire is going, and a rosemary-reasoned beef roast with potatoes and button mushrooms is ready to serve in the slow cooker as soon as the stupid bread rises. Trying to knock out the rest of my over-winter seed planting: 20 red dwarf apples, about 30 dwarf Mandarin orange, ten rainbow grape vines, two California palm and five Canary Island date palms, and several dozen coffee (allegedly Kona variety) trees. We'll see what's sprouting in a few weeks (or, in the case of the palms, months).
