Christmas, almost,

The weather has been the usual- 50s during the day and 40s at night. We have a few nights as low as 28 and the snow the Basjoo bananas have frost bite!

But the pansies are still blooming!

And Christmas is everywhere!

And blooming Wintersweet

And cats of the garden

And a Hawks in the Garden

And Winter is a good time to work in the bones of your garden: repair and reset bricks and birdhouse and bee homes!

And walk around the city and check out the decorations before they are taken down:

Duke Center for the Performing Arts

And the newly complete local catholic cathedral : Holy Name of Jesus Cathedral

And wreaths!
