@sueinmn, @johnbishp,@francis007, and all...
Well, my dear friends, Jackso ville, Florida is getting a 2nd year with a hard chill in November!!! Last year caught me and many off guard and I lost several plants I truly loved....as I mentioned last note. We've been enjoying nice, soft rainy days for a couple weeks, but this week tonight will go into the 40s and tomorrow night, Tuesday, into the 30s.!!! That's cold for us...usually we see those ##in January, February...never November!

So. Yesterday I pretty much guarantee I'd be in a bunch more pain all night...yes!...and a repeat tonight. Yesterday, after bringing upstairs my heavy ta le for my tree, I brought upstairs to my BR the succulents I had at the front door. They'd never make it through tbe night, so I brought it upstairs...mandevilla- a tropical flowering vine, 2 varieties of snake plant, a very productive spider plant. It is ready for repotting and is very heavy.
I also, Sue, realized why my Christmas cactus, it is a Christmas one, isn't budding yet. Last year it was full of buds by now. I have growing lights in the den on 24/7, so she never had a chance to enjoy lower light! Well, it's in my BR now, getting long evenings and nights, SO...I'll soon see flowering, hopefully. No more in my BR now. It's full with just enough plants.

Here are pictures...yes, you can laugh at .y antics. Give you permission!

Blessings. Elizabeth
