Hi everyone believe it or not we hate January too ...but for the opposite reasons ...heat and humidity.It has been almost normal heat the last two days,in the 90's (usually the 100's) ...we start to count the days to Autumn because we love it ...and Winter too.This year because of no sun and lots of rain we have been spared, my heart goes out to you all ...your Winters are such a trial.Ours are usually brisk at night but warm sunny days in the 60/70F usually, so you can see why we enjoy it, my Angels have been flowering (and podding ) since late Winter, but the price we have paid for a sunless summer is no passionfruit to eat! the grapes did not ripen,
most of the fruit has not ripened, our big bunch of sugar bananas went down well, very good! ...lots of things have enjoyed the rain of course ...everything is gigantic.The Rangoon creeper is three stories high. I hope your Spring dreams are keeping you warm TM and everyone, and I am sure our Tropical folk are feeling guilty like I do when we read about all that cold ...we are all wishing it your way
