No Frost Yet

I am amazed by this. There have been threats all around us and a little ice on the cars a couple of times, but still no freeze. I am in no rush...personally... Fall colors so far are subdued, with a few brilliant reds and oranges here and there like flags at a rally. Mostly the hills are a dark, dark green rarely seen around here. I wonder what the 'Dacks look like. If anybody can get away to get Beck, maybe we will find out.

We are having a dilemma about the sago palms, of which I am quite fond. A small animal vet we use in dire situations sent around an email telling us that ingesting the leaves is fatal and incurable for pets. Therefore they aren't something we want to have accessible.
Meanwhile I like them.

No pets visit our bedroom...the door is always closed and only the cat can get upstairs anyhow. Gael is too lame to climb them. I want to bring them in and put them up there until they can go back on the sitting porch in the spring. No pets there either.

Alan wants to let them freeze and throw them away.

So they are still out there still, awaiting a decision or a hard frost, whichever comes first.....
