I was sitting outside drinking coffee looking at my little weather app that said 70's and 0% chance of rain this morning... When it started raining. It's since passed, it's cloudy and warm out today. But NO SNOW. Hang in there Peter!

Yea sure, couple weeks ago I was complaining about the extended summer..... Did you know I hate snow? Used to ski, snowboard, but now have no use for it. Wanna buy my snowshoes?

Raining today. It's supposed to switch over to snow tonight. The rain is welcome. Water table is pretty low for this time of year. I think many of my female fish are holding their eggs, looking for underground springs to lay them on. They should find plenty now.

It's much nicer today and snow just about all gone. Supposed to get to about 60 today. Right now about 50 degrees.
Need to work on Christmas decorations this week. Got some up but need to get busy and get the rest up this weekend.

Drab, blustery, haven't seen the sun in days! Around 32f, but feels colder. It snowed lightly for an hour or so this morning, but only stayed on the vehicles, the ground is still too warm.

Hi all! It actually wasnt to bad here today...65 and sunny so cleaned out the bog area (already took out the huge tarot and umbrella palms and calla lily's...sad day that was...and removed some tree leaves in there to boot. Hate seeing the kids all down so low in the deepness of the pond...but they all know it's coming I guess. Still have the waterfall running, but it's just not the same without all the plants in the bog anymore; so baron. Ugh alas fall is here and most of the leaves in my yard anyway have fallen. Bummer...

Rain and a 20 degree drop coming, then temps back to mid 70's again. It will be colder here than maryland

I still need to take out my canna, Unbrella palm and Taro out of my cold ponds. Canna has froze off several times so I should move it into greenhouse today and store dry in cool area. The Taro and Unbrella palm are covered by plastic dome and still green. I should bring the taro in soon. Might save umbrella palm if I have room.
Weather still unusually mild and today we should get to 57 degrees and low of 30.

Sissy, you are amazing! You will know for sure what that house has or doesn't have and what it will need. Lucky son you have!
Rebel, I don't remove any plants from my bog, other than the non-hardy ones, like the Elephant ears. Do you have hardy plants in your bog, or just tropicals?
It's going to be sunny and really nice here today, 67 is the predicted high! I am going to finally get all my tropical bulbs dug up (dahlias, elephant ears, and few others) and dried out to put in the basement for the winter. Got to clean my house, because puppies arrived yesterday! Denali had 6, but one was born dead, so that left 4 females and a male. Very happy with that ratio for sure!

After get that done, going to cross stitch the rest of the afternoon, and watch more of Heartland from Netflix.

How cute, nice puppies

 

[callingcolleen1]

Sweet little puppies for Christmas! Hey CE I thought small dogs usually only have 3 or 4 puppies? How big is Momma?

 

[CountryEscape]

She is very small for a Boston, only weighs about 13#. Yes, some small breeds, like Yorkies and toy poodles, etc. only have 1-2 puppies. Terrier breeds are much more hardy, and have 4-6 puppies, up to 8 puppies. I used to raise Rat Terriers many years ago, and they averaged 5 puppies. Denali has had 3-6 puppies in her litters. She has enough milk to nurse 8 puppies, I swear! The puppies are 2 days old today, and little chubbies already. She is a very good Mama, finally got her to go outside to go potty today. The first day or so they put everything into their newborns, and getting their own strength back. She was ready to go directly back to her brood, though, which is perfect.
It appears they are all brindles, with the exception of the puppy on the left, who looks like she will be black and white. The one with the really wide white on the face is the only male of the litter, which I'm thrilled about (only having one male, that is), since seems everyone wants females, and they bring a little more money.

Supposed to be cooler today, in the mid 50's, and rain coming in this evening according to the weather. It was sprinkling already earlier this morning, though. Three days of rain means lots of time to spend with the puppies and cross stitching!
