RE: hot vs cold

The day before yesterday, I worked doing all my winter pruning as the
temperature was near 60 F!  That is unnatural for the Ohio River Valley.
Last night we were back at a more normal 27 F., but the weather folk are
predicting another warm up for the new year taking us back up to at least 55
for New Years day!  I did see that my candy tuft is trying to put out a few
blooms.  I was sure this would be a severe winter, but unless it gets worse
before February, we'll have another year like last year.  (I don't think
I'll pack up if it's mild.  I'll just wait things out for the next winter
and see what happens.)

Blessings,
Bonnie

Takes all kinds : >)! Personally, the weather here in west-central IL 
has been weird. Got properly cold before Christmas, but all the snow 
melted before the holiday. DH and son in law went golfing on the 26th. 
Now my crocus are coming up! Its unnatural! I may just pack up and move 
to North Dakota.
