Well if my bill is $400 a month since November, I will not only have to give him the LOOK but also follow it up with the GROWL. That is my do not mess with me buddy signal. After almost 30 years of marriage, we have the nonverbal communication down pat. LOL I think the PG&E bill comes every 3 months, shoot, a loud GROWL is needed for sure. And if that does not stop the beast in him, a HISS will work. Oh I mean a KISS. LOL

I have a couple blooming too Patrica in the hoophouse and on the porch. But they are not at their best looking. Maybe I should cross them too. I was thinking no way they would take right now.

Actually, if we had this weather all the time, my yard would not be planted with tropicals for sure! Woe is me. Clare, I hope your plumies thrive. It would be too sad if you lost your seedlings.

There is also no sense to what froze. I took this pic yesterday of a schefflera I put outside many years ago, maybe 15. I thought it would die the first winter. Here it is all these years later and it has grown above my house. And not even one leaf is hurt from the freezes. How odd is that?
