annualaIt's almost mid-October, and today it's 28C/82F outside. WTF?
I still have forget-me-nots blooming. Hell, I still have roses blooming!
I'm not complaining, but I do wonder about climate-change deniers. I've lived for more than 4 decades here, and I cannot remember a (Canadian) Thanksgiving weekend like this: bright sunshine, high temperatures. A friend of mine declared on Facebook that she and her partner are having Thanksgiving dinner on the deck. That's just unnatural, people. Nice--very nice--but totally unnatural.
We're having a pretty poor autumn as far as foliage displays, too. Normally by this time, the leaves have all changed to bright oranges, reds, and golds. This year, what leaves haven't been stripped off the trees by the high winds we've had are still green, or just turning brown.
It's just weird.
