Sue, what is 'fairy fog'....spoken like a true 'sand between her toes' gal.?

We've had a week of chilly to cold for us. Last nite my thermometer said it went down to 33. In the 50's today. We'll have several days like this, in 50-60's w/40's at nite, then rain and warming and colder. Up and down.

I think Jan/Feb tend to be in 30's at nite, occasionally high 20's and occasionally for long freeze, but only a few nights a year. So far, I'm keeping my plants in pots and in ground watered and talking to them a lot...they're ok. I'll send pic of blooming vanda orchid hanging in my crepe myrtle and protected....the bloom is almost ready to open.....hope it makes it and I can take picture. And, get some help to learn to send....One step at a time. I'm surprised it enjoys the cooler weather so much.

Stay warm, love your precious hoarding husband.....Blessings. Elizabeth

Elizabeth - It's more properly called hoar frost - fairy fog is our family name for it. Large crystalline ice structures form on the branches of trees and on pine needles, making them all lovely and white. Unfortunately it is difficult to photograph the effect because the air is generally foggy and the sky quite gray when this happens, so everything just looks rather flat. We had the weather here for 4 days - until the sun burnt through yesterday afternoon. Today dawned with a lovely pink sunrise.
