I hate to tell you this, but the kids NEVER really leave.

Jim, I'm sure you get it. These southern climes are not very stable. Last week it was pushing 90, with DRY conditions. This week it's 60s and drizzle. A couple of years ago, I had just finished planting some rather expensive plants when we broke the national heat record with 103...in April. Our Santa Ana winds aren't usually hurricane force, but they can last for several days. Oh ya, needless to say the new plants fried. It a' Thumbs down int all a bed of roses, which usually suffer from mildew all spring.. I would love to find a climate that has seasons, without the snow and ice, tornadoes, or hurricanes. Ah well, I can't afford to move anyway.
