We're having a cold snap. This morning's temperature is just under 10ºC (50ºF) and there's a stiff wind blowing. That's a marked contrast from just a week ago when our highs were in the mid 80sF. Fall has declared itself. The house is still relatively warm inside.
The green is going out of the grape leaves, making pretty patterns throughout the vineyard.
I've been saying that I hope we have a few hard freezes this winter. That would be normal and good for the environment. Still, the last few winters have been much warmer than normal, so we'll see what we get.
The grape leaves are currently beautiful! We should get up to around 30C today. Cooler than yesterday. But our desert roses are starting to lose their leaves.
ReplyDeleteI can't say our winters are warmer, but maybe I feel the cold more now I am not working. We had 25 degrees last week and 27 next Friday forecast but today 12, 7 at 4pm, with snow on the nearby hills.
ReplyDeletemitch, we should get up to 15C today (Saturday). Sleeping is much easier.
ReplyDeleteandrew, mid 20s is like a perfect summer. Here. LOL.
In our French class today, the newspaper article that we read was about the paucity of snow in the Alps, and how the ski areas are coping. Many have gone bankrupt.
ReplyDeleteOh to have such temperatures!
ReplyDeleteI would like that.
