It's just that today is a bit cold (19 degrees right now and terribly windy), though not like the middle of last week.

I'm just ready for it to be over. I hate spending so much money to keep the house warm. It hit us harder this year because we also had a heap of vet bills, and a number of vehicle repairs.

It woke me up in the wee small hours. Grateful there was no snow or ice with it!

It was 75 2 days this week and the azaleas with full sun are starting to bloom. I'm sure there will be more cool days before the end of March, but we've had an entire week of warm weather. I was even able to leave my cymbidiums outside all week.
