Enjoying that happy red flower this morning, Dave!

Raining, raining, raining.☔️ Gray and dismal, 46/40. It will continue to do this until Sunday. Luckily New Year's will be clear. Safer for everyone.

We had quite the deluge of rain yesterday evening and today it is drizzly and in the mid 50s.





I am finding more hellebore buds which is over-eager.

Jill, it's definitely living up to its common name of Christmas Rose in your yard, for sure!

I definitely have helleborus niger (Christmas rose) that starts blooming in December but mostly have H. orientalis hybrids (Lenten rose) which is photo I just posted. They usually don't show much action until February. My garden is behaving like it is February so I don't know what will happen when (if?) we get our usual January cold.

I'm thinking the same thing "when" "if" on the winter cold. Everything is back to mud and with the ground frozen a few inches down making it slippery in spots. Today was bake day here too Brownies and magic bars for the road crew. They've been working on the muddy dirt roads. Need to get marshmallows before I can bake those yummy looking cookies from the Porch Swing.
Cloudy, damp, thick fog and some light showers off and on. Temps were 25 & 41.

67 today with morning low of 38.

Snow flurries today but fun time with kids and grandkids

Glad to hear you had a good day, Ginny.

31/51F 🌖 now 🌞 later

40 right now with a possible 70 today.

38/27 and partly sunny today. Resting up from yesterday

Piddling rain, will continue through Saturday. Then it will clear up and turn cold. Right now it's a grey 44/40.

Did make it to 71 today despite those thin milky clouds eventually devouring the blue skies again.

29/60F 🌞 again. "They" say the cool, dry, 🌞 pattern will break soon. Of course, we are forecast to get 0.0" of 🌧 from the next front

not too encouraging, Dave. I think Arizona may grab the rain this week before it gets to you.

Cold, Clouds, Flakes! 34/24, light dusting of snow on the ground, ❄️ flying in the air. No 🌞today!

Still gray and blah, still raining. 45/29. The rain should be ending soon, finally. Temps will head down about 20 degrees.

74 today with milky skies now and then.

Fun with my kids and grandkids for our Christmas today


Nothing from Will yet?
