roses and other strangeness

both of my roses are still actively (well, not so actively anymore but still) developing flowers. 2 clematises are still in bloom. there are raspberries ripening (small ones, and very slowly but not up and dying). i see outdoor floribunda roses in full bloom all over town, my landscaper friend tells me she has a california lilac trying to bloom on one of her jobs. wth? it's the middle of november and here i am not able to fully winterize my babies.

anybody else have unseasonal stuff happening?

a few forsythia blossoms, a few cherry blossoms. if the buds are set and the conditions are right you'll see more. or maybe it's all just global warming. idk.

how are you, danny? i miss you.

the grandiflora has 6 fully set buds, i actually had one bloom over halloween; although it was probably the most pathetic flower i've seen on it so far. 2 of them are getting to the point where the petals are showing through the stamens but they are *tiny* like the tip of my thumb.

im holding up. but not well. im not that brave. i spoke a lot bout revenge but honestly the vengence and malice i feel is outweighed by the love and forgiveness my mother taught me. turn the other cheek and all that. it was just venting. honestly i forgive everyone. i just want to be at peace and hate does weigh you down i feel. i have a vision i may see my fam some day soon.

every for the past 3 or 4 years some of the trees in the front yard here start growing new leafs even when winter isn't over and the temps is still close to 0C (32F) out side.
