Snow falls at the Las Vegas sign and the people rejoice.
Big excitement this past Wednesday. Snow is not really unusual here in Las Vegas, but it is rare that it sticks much. It was so beautiful as it was falling, but didn’t stick at all in my part of town (NW – Jones and Smoke Ranch). Imagine my surprise to see snow still in the landscaping when I drove my husband to McCarran International Airport on Friday morning! No wonder everybody was so impressed!
So how did the scented geraniums fare? All survived in spite of being outside during the storm. It was a calculated risk to leave them out, but I have learned that my back yard is safe down to 29F. I attribute this to a cement block wall, a swimming pool and an aluminum shed – all of which hold heat. No doubt the hot air I generate when blogging is equally helpful.
Meanwhile, over in Canna Land, some foliage was nipped.
