Just a couple of traces of rain this week, which brings us up to 23 days without anything measurable. Even though we've had a couple of 32-degree nights, on Dec. 2 I pulled a blooming dandelion out of my yard. Even after a real heavy frost Fri. night - Sat. morning, petunias, geraniums, snapdragons and alyssum are still in bloom, although not vigorously, and since the frost, the geranium blossoms have drooped, about to surrender.
