Baby it's Cold Outside

I'm behind in my postings. The fall has gone by and I've been hard at work. Today, I am blessed with one of those days off where I can finally get caught up and create.

Here in New England it has finally turned seasonably cold. Last week in Boston we broke the temperature record on November 30th with a reading of 69 degrees (F) beating out 68 degrees (F) set in 1881! It was weird going Christmas shopping on the 1st of December in 60 degree weather.

Baby it's cold outside today as the song goes. While waiting for the bus to come for my son, I snapped these pictures of my rhododenrons. The leaves curl in an attempt to prevent mositure loss. It was 20 degrees (F) when I took these pictures. You can see that the bush close to the house is not as tightly curled as those near the street. Obviously, our house is not as weather tight as we would like, and some heat is escaping.
