Okay, it was 29 here this a.m. It's still cold and windy, but sunny. In other words, NOVEMBER. It could be worse...they could be saying that F word....

| | Re The winter of our discontent | | I am grateful that the heat and humdity have left. I thought I would be so excited at school. But the heating system went down, and today was the first day I got heat back in 1.5 weeks. When our building is hot, it's hot. But when it is cold, it is frigid. WE've been wearing coats in class for a week.

| | Re The winter of our discontent | | Hail. We had HAIL. While I was waiting for a bus.
Other than that, though, the weather's been lovely. It's nice to have an excuse to wear the pretty winter hat that Bridgette made me.

| | Re The winter of our discontent | | ACK! Not wind and snow and hail!!!!! We've had none of that yet, and I'll have none if it before December 1, TYVM.
I'm still covering my roses every night. I was reading online what to do for them, and it sounds like they are okay being covered only until it starts to freeze all the time. I haven't had such needy plants before...everything else is just sort of "leave me alone until spring and we'll see if I survive" stuff.

| | Re The winter of our discontent | | 50s until Friday then snow. I don't think it will be around to stay though. It has been quite a pleasant fall for us. I won't complain.
