We missed the snow and got rain.

We had already set an all time rain record by Dec 3.

Amazing the crazy records set this year. We set one, too....for the LEAST amount ever. Why couldn’t we have shared. :)

Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...shopping complete? Any snow?

Temps have stayed below freezing since yesterday and we've had a little snow. No more high wind storms would be nice. Supposed to start being COLD for a week or so!!

I’ve thought about that a lot..

I’d have been more than willing to share.

So would I. We have so many dead trees and other plants and shrubs here that it’s pitiful to drive down the streets. :(

No snow, Kathy - our temp at 11:00 pm is 52F - cold front moving in - will drop to 35F tonight - rain. Back in the days of my youth, when I was running every day, I found the worst possible weather was rain with temps below 40 - especially if there was any wind, which there usually was. Remember the sting of the raindrops on my face.

Sorry to digress - shopping is complete - wrapping still to do.

A Happy Christmas to you and yours!

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Godspeed our Troops around the Globe – especially those in harm’s way – by virtue of their service and sacrifice we continue to live in Freedom!

I can just imagine..We had a similar deal from the ice storm that snapped trees all over.

I’ve been reading stuff about planting into wood chips...They are great for retaining water.

Mr. Gardener Guy uses the next door neighbor’s pine needles to put down as a blanket in all the gardens. It really does retain moisture and protects plants through the winter. It seems that they are second only to wood chips (native shredded wood) for this.
