Morning, all. Currently 65F and feels a bit chilly with the NW wind. High of 86F today. Clear skies and sunshine! Will be enjoying the weather as much as I can before the weekend when another round of gray clouds shows up.

Chilly and wet here, with a steady rain the last four hours. I really need to get outside and unpot 30 plumeria that need to be shipped, but the rain prevents me from doing so. Drat. Grumbling

James, your plummies are on their way. Though I had stated in the offer that they would have to ship USPS Ground, I shipped them Priority Mail. You are located just close enough to make that priority shipping manageable. Thumbs up

My walkway to the greenhouses looks so vacant now. Thirty plumeria that were taking up residency there are now gone. The Plumeria Patch (which in the summer looked more like a Plumeria Jungle) is so lean that you can see most of the brick wall again. I have a pile of going-dormant plumeria under a large oak that measures approximately 5'x4'x4'. That pile will have to be bagged at the end of the week. We are supposed to get near freezing weather Sunday morning and freezing weather Monday morning. All my seedlings, rooted cuttings, and mature plants that are potted will have to be brought in as well. I guess its time to build that greenhouse inside the garage. nodding

Low 70s for high today. Tomorrow and Thursday we may break some weather records for heat. Then the plunge starts on Fri. At least I finally found some gloves that will hopefully work for everyday wear.

It is mild today as it has been for the past few days. Supposed to turn much cooler again by the weekend though.

Still a snow event warning for a start up tomorrow, whatever, we're ready ..
Lorna pics up her new truck today, since it's a 4x4 we're good to go ..

We have a lot of 'Partridge/Ruffed Grouse' flying around the property, quite unusual .. they certainly are not graceful fliers ..

Early client call this morning .. off n running ..

The city of Thunder Bay, and the surrounding area, is a buzz with reports of the impending first snowfall of the season, and, the first storm
As is typical, it seems the stats get overly inflated with each forecast ..
May wake up to a winter wonderland in the morning, and will shout a hearty GOOD MORNING to the south for James and Jonna .. doubt a snowball would make it, plus, I am not Sandy Koufax Hilarious!
