Good news down this way too ... after another night at 26º it warmed up to the 50's today, finally! We are supposed to be mid to upper 70's by the end of the week and I really, really hope we don't have any more 20 and 30º temps here for a long time!

I posted this picture on the continuation thread, but this is what the Schefflera tree looks like today. In another week or so the leaves will all be total mush but my husband will eventually take the chain saw to the tree and cut it back and by mid summer it will be pretty again. It's pretty sad looking right now ... and that was a pretty red Hibiscus just below in the foreground of the photo ... it got hit pretty hard too. I'm not sure if any of the Hibiscus will recover.
