Warm and Sunny in November?

A cup of tea on the deck in November? I checked the temperature--49 degrees F. Yes, I have shoveled snow several times. Below is a photo from November 16, and now the snow is mostly gone. Ah, climate change.

Last Harvest and Hibiscus

The parsley is so lovely and hardy. I thought it was killed off in the last freeze, but with the rain and warmer temperatures, it grew some new leaves. What a delightful surprise! The hibiscus (below) is loving its indoor space. I will have to cut it back at some point, but I think I'll wait until March or so, depending on the weather forecasts. I love the healthy green leaves and vibrant flowers just as all the leaves have fallen off the trees outside.
