I totally get that! HAHAHA My Peace Lily made it in permanently. It was too heavy to move back outside. That is one less plant to move in for the winter. I wonder who will remain an indoor plant this year due to my sheer laziness??? Come to think of it, my Pink Arrowhead plant is really thriving indoors! And so is the pothos, and the Ti plants, and, and, and... Rolling on the floor laughing The garage was where they use to go. But now even that isn't good enough for my babies. When I grow up I want to be one of MY plants!

Same here in Houston. Plus, this is the warmest December on record. During last year's mild winter, I regretted all the hard work I did to bring in my plants for protection when for the most part they all would have fared just fine outside. But you never know, right? All is takes is one cold snap and ZAP Thumbs down Gonners! My sprinkler timers are back on.
Life is short, Break the rules, Forgive quickly, Kiss slowly, Love Truly, Laugh
uncontrollably, And never regret anything that made you Smile.
