But at least we have plenty of sunshine. Warm by Saturday. Cold Sunday. And so on.
Made more incremental improvements last evening to the general layout. Moving planters and removing obstacles.
This blog is an ARTISTIC regional photo journal. I focus on mundane scenes. ANY AND ALL STATEMENTS I MAKE HERE ARE MY OPINONS ONLY! I OFFER NOTHING WHATSOEVER AS A STATEMENT OF FACT! The photographs are offered as ARTISTIC EXPRESSION ONLY! They are not representative of anything other than themselves. Most of the places mentioned here have surely changed substantially since they were visited. Check my list of recommended sites at the bottom of this blog!

We might have a freeze next week, but not a hard freeze. Until then it will be even bordering on warm during the day. I can't complain about the weather-- yet.
Cool and sunny with no breeze so no wind chill problems. I was out in the morning sun wearing next to nothing behind my privacy fence, soaking up the rays. I won't have many opportunities for such activity once winter sets in. Enjoy it while I can, I say. Last evening I drank most of a bottle of an aged Llano Blush. Quite good, and something to savor. Bottled twenty years ago, it aged well. My project this morning involved making natural trellises for bindweed out of the old sunflower stalks. Yes, I have bindweed, and some other as yet unidentified vine with large leaves growing in my backyard and I welcome that stuff. I can kill the bindweed easily if it ventures into any areas where I don't want it. I've already experimented with various common liquids and I've found a few things that are effective and not environmentally harmful. For me to know and for others to learn for themselves.
It should be warmer tomorrow. I was able to do a lot and I got lucky on something. I found a terrific bargain and snapped it up.
Not freezing but cool and wet. I'm glad I did a lot yesterday, when the weather was fine. This spell of wet winter should be over by Saturday, when we get some sun again. Bad timing for the cotton farmers, who rarely catch a break lately. The ground is still saturated from our recent heavy rains and that means a lot of run off into the playa lakes. Well, I like to see those things full. But I really hate gloomy weather like this.
