Early December

... and spring like weather.  Our grass is snow free and starting to green up.  So is the area surrounding the garden.  It's just chilly outside .. during the day .. and the night temps are above freezing. Humm .. I'm liking this weather.

It's nice weather but it worries me. I wonder what type of winter we will have.

We've got the same odd weather here---it's 52 degrees, green (ish) grass. I don't know--though it gave me a chance to finish a few undone projects, I'd rather be snowmobiling and skiing.

Wow, that seems terribly unfamiliar for Idaho in December!

I have highs in the 70s here yesterday and today, going down over the next few days to a high of 41 on the weekend! I never know how to dress when I'm leaving the house in the morning!

Enjoy your reprieve!

I cannot figure out in which climate zone you are living in. What has become of the snow queen?
We have had snow for four days, that's some of a record.
But I enjoy white instead of gray, which is my alternative.
I'm dreaming of a green Christmas.

Ha .. today I hung out laundry on the line! I had to bring it in at sunset .. it was 90% dry ... good to breath in fresh air and be outside.

Oh, I am so jealous of the cold northern winters. And White Christmases... enjoy the weather as you guys cool down for December. :)
