Quick Temperature Gauge



Dear Alice,

It has been much too cold for March mornings, methinks, and to avoid going out to check the thermometer on the patio, a quick look out the window will tell if we need to bundle up. The Rhododendron's leaves will be curled tight, drooping, and very, very dark if it is in the 20's or lower.


I am waiting for mornings when our friend Rhodie looks more like this (taken when the temperature actually reached the low 40's yesterday!)







So, there you have it! I think you have a Rhododendron in your garden—do you not?
Nancy

Your poor rhodies! They're my husband's passion,We have every colour imaginable and ours look a little bit warmer. I'll send a photo when it stops raining! Too wet and windy to go out at present.
