I just couldn't resist using that line, after seeing Geoffrey Rush deliver it in the marvelous movie,
The King's Speech yesterday. There's no "son of York" around here, but there was plenty of San Diego sunshine today, which allowed us to dry out slightly from all the rain we've been having.

However, tonight is supposed to show us that San Diego really does have a winter; the forecast tonight indicates that it may get down close to freezing. Cindy is very concerned about this and went out to do what she could to protect the more vulnerable plants. She re-covered the cover crop, which has been coming along nicely and strung Christmas lights in the dwarf lime and alleged orange trees (see "Of Lemons and Limes" and "When Life Hands You Lemons" in August 2010) in the hope that the warmth from the bulbs will keep the trees warm enough to keep from freezing. I'm not sure that will work because those tiny bulbs don't seem to put out a lot of heat, but we'll hope it's sufficient to prevent the fruit and trees from freezing.

She also covered up her worm bins and moved the Asclepia (with caterpillars) closer to the house. So we've done what we can for them all and we'll see what happens.
