winter is surely on the way here, we've had frosts
and harder freezes this past week almost each night
with the clear weather.

daytime temperatures are still pretty nice, but that
is due to change this weekend. i have someone coming
by in a few minutes so i have to make this a short
note...

we have certain plants that will rebloom here given
enough time, some of the irises have been blooming
for the past month.

cheers and happy preserving! i think we're gonna
do some PBDCs soon.
