Winter???

We seem to have missed winter altogether this year. We have gone from autumn to late autumn to early spring. We had one killing frost which laid the garden low but that's it. We have had several good soaking rains for which we are very thankful. However, around here rain without cold weather means only one thing--mosquitoes! The weeds in the yard and garden are greening up and growing taller than the brown grass--looks most untidy. OTOH, the new roses have buds on every single one of them. One thing about the garden, there's always something new and always something to do.

Welcome to the tropics! This seems to be a warmer than usual winter everywhere.

Of course, shortly after I posted this, a cold front moved through!! LOL!! We are ranging from the low 40's at night to 60's during the day. My kind of winter, wimp that I am.
