The year 2011 was a violent weather year in the US, with at least 12 weather-related disasters exceeding a billion dollars in damage. Some say it was Earth's most extreme weather year since 1816. Much of the country suffered from record heat and drought . . . and so did the yards and gardens.

We barely missed a freeze last night, but it'll probably freeze tonight. And I'm hoping La Nina will disappear this year. Just because they're predicting that...well, I won't count on it until I'm sure it is really happening. Then I'll celebrate! They are wrong so often!
