"Don't like the weather?   Wait 30 minutes..."   New England weather is famous (infamous?) for being highly variable.

It's the middle of November.   The US holiday of "Thanksgiving" is only days away.   And yet, we've had temperatures in the 60's Fahrenheit (upper teens Celcius) on and off for the past couple weeks!   What is that about?

In October, we have had several hard frosts.   We came quite close to putting blankets on our wooly horses, but refrained.   All of our vegetables, corn, courgettes / zucchinis, tomatoes, peppers, squashes,....   died.   We harvested as much as we could.

Now this.   Georg's strawberries are BLOOMING!   We have baby strawberries!   Geez!

Last year this time, we were ready for snow.   After teasing us with the scent of snow every night for a week or so, it arrived.   Thanksgiving 2005, we had 6 inches of the white stuff gently touch down.   Georg, our Bangalore based friend & Sun colleague, Joe, and my Dad, took turns plowing the first real snow of the year.

Apparently, we are doomed.   According to our local newstation, the last time New England had such a warm November, it got slammed with record snows during the winter.   We'll see...   In the meantime, it's difficult to resist reading email with the wireless Ferrari, outside, in the sunshine.   For this, of course, all WebCams will be pointed...   elsewhere.
