We're supposed to drop to the mid 30s a couple times this week, but that's it. Then it's in the 60s and 70s during the day. My thought is that the Basjoo and Elephant Ears need a freeze (down to 30 or so) to send them into dormancy.

The weather man said our record latest 1st snowfall is Nov. 21, and that it looks like we'll break that record. Fine by me! Although it's just so dry here. I blew out my sprinklers a couple weeks ago, and now I'm having to water the lawn and plants by hand. Although the lawn is still extremely green and growing.
