Hi, everyone.

It was 68F outside this morning here in Delray Beach. The weatherman had predicted a cold front. It's not exactly the beginning of a glacial age, but it is cooler than the high 70s we were experiencing up until a few days ago. Nothing seems affected, so far. I don't expect any damages; it's just not that cool. I remember 2 winters ago, when they were forecasting nights in the 40s. I loaded up the adeniums on my trusted handcart and brought them in the house, along with a slew of lizards. Let's just say my wife was NOT a happy camper about that. By the time the first night was over, the adeniums had sensed a change in their environment and were dropping leaves all over the place: temperamental divas! Maybe the cure was worse than the cold. They bounced back, but seeing all those dropped leaves on the floor sure was disheartening.

Take care, all.
Sylvain.
