I love the Christmas season. I am one of those crazy people who actually loves the chaos of Black Friday shopping, and I enjoy finding the right gift for each of my people. If you missed it, 10 on the 10th was all about the holidays, and you can read about gifting there. You have …
Ok, let’s get the weather report out of the way. Friday and Saturday, we had highs in the high 50s (~14C). It’s almost like when you’re emerging from winter. In fact, I spotted some of my hyacinths peeping out of the mulch! I think it’s supposed to cool off this week, but I’m not holding …

So, it wouldn’t be a 10 on the 10th if I didn’t talk about the weather, right? Let’s just say it’s been quite nice for November. We did have snow flurries on Halloween, but that isn’t unusual. All of the annuals are gone except for the ferns. I think I’m going to keep them and …
