the slow climb

Today we start the slow climb out of this cold spell. By the end of the week we should be just a few degrees below the averages. I have a feeling that we may lose a few plants this year. Palms are the most vunerable as well as hibiscus. I actually believe that my sidewalk leading to the greenhouse has raised a 1/8 of an inch due to frozen ground. In the five years we have owned here I have never seen the ground freeze. In past years my fountain would freeze up and form ice on the sculpture. This year the entire water basin is frozen solid.

Five days to the weekend. Have a good week!
