Four of my ibera are already down, and all but two box turtles are also down. And we have had some great weather for this time of the year.
They know the days are shorter and light levels down:0)

Yes back to cool again today, and no one has moved at all today.
Yesterday was very strange, it was a bit like the apocalypse was coming, yellow /orang sky and red sun !

Well today I'm working in stone henge and there is no snow to be seen where back in my side of Wiltshire we still have a snow covered garden and it's still piled up on the sides of the roads where the snow ploughs went.

On my side of the county there is no snow whatsoever and we have had no problems at all in fact hardly any fell at all. Amazing the difference in weather within just a few miles.

No snow here, we had a dribble about four days ago, but went as fast as it came:0)
It has been colder in the South of France than here, and they had more snow than we have had:0)
