I said yesterday that the weather had been strange this fall. This morning when I walked out to go to meet the new college president where I work, Jilda pointed out that the Jasmine on our front arbor had bloomed.
Normally it blooms in April but the days have been so warm, I guess the plant thought this was a short sleep and bloomed out.
It was colder last night, but the next few days it will warm up again and it could be 80 degrees here on Christmas Day with storms. I'm excited.
The local newspaper reporter came by today to interview Jilda for a Christmas story. She'd been painting our Christmas Cards for 30 years. Some of our friends started framing the cards.
I'm not sure when the story will run, but I'm guessing it will be out in the next few days.
I was running late this morning and didn't get a shot of the jasmine and it was too dark to shoot one when I got home this evening, but I found one I shot last year during early spring.
Y'all have a great weekend.

Jilda's card painting will make a great Christmas story for the paper.
ReplyDeleteYou are so lucky to have jasmine blooming in your yard. I bet you would rather that they bloom at the right time.
Have a great weekend.
