Is this really winter?

Our highs have been in the low 60s(F) here for the past week.  Some of our botanicals are quite confused.  Yesterday, I played golf (63F outside) and a cherry tree was blooming on the golf course.   (see photo... the iPhone is so handy! LOL)

Some of our daffodils have pushed up with their Spring growth and are four inches tall!


It's raining here today, a good day to stay indoors and think about wrapping Christmas presents.   :-)

The kitchen is finished, sorted out and unpacked.  What a difference it makes!   The house had a 26 year-old electric coil cooktop that we retired, and we bought a new induction (electric) cooktop and we absolutely love it!  Our cookware was already the right type (tri-ply magnetic stainless steel and my old cast iron skillets).    DH and I both really love cooking on it, and so easy to wipe clean.   This alone made the whole remodel worth the bother.  

ROSEY P - What is the name of those glorious pink flowers in your photo?  

Hugs to everyone!!!

Our crazy daffys came up before it got cold, too. Not sure what will happen now that we are headed toward freezing temps.

Those pink flowers of Rosey's look like phlox to me. Am I right, Rosey? I have a very small one that was supposed to be orange, but is the same color pink.

You're right, Kathi, phlox does so well in my garden here. It's a south facing garden and gets a lot of sun and thus heat but with watering, these phlox give me weeks of colour in the garden close to the house. I don't know how well they would do in Tennesse, Doris, but you could easily find out. The scent, too, is delicate and lovely.
