Chrysanthemums are tough
This picture was taken on December 4, when the high was freezing and the low was domething like 18. It took a few more days of this -- and lows of -2 Fahrenheit -- to finally kill these flowers.
They even bloom in the heat of the summer, when the highs run up to and occasionally over 100 degrees.
It is back up to freezing now, and we have a layer of snow over a layer of melted and then frozen snow, and it is raining.
We are hosting a student from a region of Germany where these conditions are normal.
Time to look at hosting a student from Thailand.
Latest witticism from the exchange students (not one of mine): The street I live on is Birch Doctor.
