December 4th and my summer flowers are still blooming.

When Mom visited in October we bought this Debutante camellia. It blooms now and the Lady Claire blooms in Feb.March.

We've had one night when it threatened to go below freezing, but the following day it went up to over 70 again. I recently said I wished it would get colder so it would feel more like the holidays and someone told me to be careful what I wished for. True, true. So, I'm enjoying this e-x-t-e-n-d-e-d fall.
