Snug as a Bug!

Well, I was worried when I went back to work that Don would not get out of the house. So far, he has kept very busy including today's project -- covering the bouganvilla. We are expecting a hard freeze tonight and we were worried the bush would be damaged. When I got home Don and Drew had it nicely covered, and even put a light under it to make sure the whole package stayed warm. I am not sure what that ladder is across the top of the bush, but I know there must be a reason and at some point, I'll ask!

When I went out to take the picture of the bouganvilla, Hooch followed me out - he's always ready for a good game of fetch!

After his busy afternoon, Don relaxed in the den and chatted with his sister, Debbie. She, her husband Deke and granddaughter Hannah, are coming to visit this weekend. You can see Don's elbow is continuing to heal from the fall he took last week when he was trying to let the pesky Weimariner go out.

You're covering the flowers up after it already snowed all over them? Explain immediately, please.

The snow was fleeting. It started snowing at 7:00 AM and was finished by 10:00 AM. By Noon the same day it had warmed up and the snow began to melt. By that evening, it was gone...business as usual. The bouganvilla could surive that kind of cold. On the otherhead, we are expecting freezing temperatures for extended periods tonight. Unprotected water pipes will freeze and so will my bouganvilla. Can't have that. So we cover it and light it up. It will still suffer some damage but more than likely will survive. If it survives, I'll post the unveiling!
