Wonderful :o)
It was sunny and reasonably mild in my gardens on Boxing Day and I took a pic. of my climbing rose covered in blooms.
Roses doing very well in England this winter !

I tell you, nothing will save you. Even hurricane palms :))) But Irene wasn´t friendly too.
On the other side, my eye is calm.

Katarina:
It's called hurricane palm because it very tolerant of wind and hurricanes in its native tropical habitat. It's very widely grown in southern Florida where they get many hurricanes.

Wow! That's great you're having a mild winter. I know the last two past winters have been very harsh there.
Here in San Diego the weather has been warm to hot for the last 8 days. Today many areas of inland San Diego are going to be 85ºF/29ºC. It's feeling more like the ending of Spring. It's suppose to be warm this whole week. :>)

Yes, the grassy area would be perfect for a picnic. :>)
Glad it's been a mild winter there for you this year!
It's been exceptionally warm to hot here for the last 2 weeks or so. Next week it's still going to be warm, but not hot.
