New Normals

It was a bracing 50 degrees F when I stepped out of the door this morning.  Normally we wouldn't expect to see that temperature until next April even here on the NCR.  We still have not had a hard freeze in the garden and non are expected for at least 10 days.  It is so mild, I'm contemplating spraying BT on the broccoli to kill cabbage loopers!  While the gardener in me is thrilled with the late harvest of vegetables, the grandfather is appalled by the implications of this warm November for future generations.
