No Snow Here. . .

No snow, not even a flake. But cold, cold, cold! Judie said it was 23 when she went to bed early this AM. When I got up a 7:15 is was 27 and frost everywhere. Looked like snow but it was just crunchy grass. Saw snow in the Audubon Bridge web page, so New Roads even got snow while we did not. It was 34 there by their thermometer.

Surprisingly, the Weeping Willow trees are still green. I wonder how long that will last? The last of the green in the leaves of the red oaks out front is just about gone. Next the leaves will all come down. Those two trees are getting up there, nice size now, probably 40 feet tall now. Pretty soon they will be only stark bare branches, shut down for the winter.

The wind is ripping out of the south, that means it will warm up. No clouds, so it will get down low again tonight. Maybe the south winds will keep it warm - there's hope.

The deer will be out looking for food. That means if its green, it is gonna get et. But not much green left, everything is burnt or turning brown. All the pansys in the neighborhood are going to be eaten up by the foraging deer. We gave up on planting them for that reason.

Winter is here. Time to hunker down.
