Boy, just when ya think things are looking up. We hit 19 this morning and yesterday we were easily 23 warming to 27 by 7:30 am.
I thought we were supposed to be getting warmer.

I am sorry for all of you that lost so much! I didn't lose all that much - luckily I have a large greenhouse, and my real boo hooing will begin when I get my PG&E bill for my greenhouse heating. I have a bad case of zone denial so almost all of my potted plants go in there. I haven't been brave enough to look under the blankets in the back yard at my older potted brugs and citrus.

I'm kind of liking the Tequila on the roof idea. Might have to do that myself only I'll have a lemon drop in one hand and my PG&E bill in the other and just for giggles I'll throw on my screamin' purple garden crocs.

Perhaps when things warm up we'll do a mini NorCal roundup and plant swap to help to replace plants that others have lost or to just commiserate on our mushy beloved plants. And yes, I promise to bring the fixin's for Lemon Drops and of course we can set up a Tequila station if you prefer.

And Zuzie, when you go to Mexico, I'm coming too!
