Thanksgiving Weekend.

11-27-20 SHORT HILLS: It’s been a while, but there’s not been much garden news to post. We’ve had rain here and, I suspect that NJ is getting normal amounts of rain at this point, but VT is still behind with about half of the normal amount of rain this month. It remains warm here, in the sixties most days, too warm for November. 


Judy and I did a T-day dinner by ourselves, but had a Zoom meetings with Alison’s and Val’s families mostly scattered around the East. Lucy is in Washington.  Next year, after vaccinations, we will all do the usual celebrations here, hopefully. Everything Judy made for us was perfect, as always. 


I filled the feeders yesterday for the birds and for the deer and squirrels. The grackles have left until the spring and we are hosting the usual feathered winter crew.


New blooms: forsythia, dandelion. [The warm days after a frost always give us a few yellow flowers.]



Furry bandit.











Hanging on by a toe.










One of the two on the ground was also on the feeder. Dan, any suggestions?
