What the Weather Gods Give...

The Weather Gods are being kind to the Great Plains. The last month has seen endless days of sun, moderate temps and breezes, all just right for off-season base-building and recharging the tri-batteries for next year. I'm NOT a cold-weather rider, as you few long-time readers know! But for now it's mid-November and I've still got plants thriving on my balcony.

Yet, the Weather Gods are nothing if not capricious, and I believe everything averages out eventually. That means this winter is really gonna suck. Uh-oh. I better get that survival kit assembled and in the back of my car. In the meantime the plants need watering.
