iIt's 14 degrees this morning

Fourteen Degrees Fahrenheit is minus Ten Degrees Celsius 

This is what I came home to. 

I left for Italy knowing that I had plenty of time to  put the Summer away.

It's only November. It's supposed to look like this.

Will the Papyrus survive?

First night home this happened.  It came crashing down  at 2 o'clock in the morning.  Miraculously,  it missed the house, windows and balustrades. When trees still hold their leaves,  and when it snows branches get very heavy.  Not a good recipe for hundred year old trees. 

Happy days to you.
