Blooms

The weather here is disgusting. Words like "chilly", "November", and "horrible" were thrown about willy nilly at work today. And it's my fault. I'd like to apologize to anyone in the Greater Boston area for the 10 day forecast - which includes rain, showers, overcast, scattered thunderstorms, and more rain along with temperatures ranging from 50 degree nighttime lows to 55 degree daytime highs. I took the plastic insulation off the windows and put my gloves and scarves away this past weekend, obviously forcing the weather to revert to late fall crappiness. So please accept my apologizes.Anyway, since the weather is so gross, I thought I'd add some color to our lives with some photos of the azalea outside my front door. These photos were taken last weekend when there was this thing called sun in the sky.

  1. What a lovely plant! Unfortunately, most of the flowering trees and shrubs in my area completely lost their flowers during the weekend storms.

  4. Ah so you are the one that caused all this fowl weather. It is the same North West of you here in the Adirondack Mountains. We might see the sun on Sunday and another week of cold rainy weather. I am cooking like I usually do in the middle of winter rather than gardening. That is scary.

  5. Nice color! I'll admit that I prefer the natural form of azalea over tightly clipped bushes.
