Coldness. It is supposed to freeze here in Tucson so I will be bringing a bunch of my plants indoors and putting them in the dining room, which is off limits to the cat. Have to pull out a sheet to drape over a few things that can't be brought in. I live next to Sentinel Peak (also known as 'A' Mountain due to an ugly concrete and rock "A" stuck on its side in 1913) and it tends to be a few degrees cooler here in the winter. That's enough of a difference to cause plants to freeze. My bouganvillea always dies back dramatically, and in the spring I have to cut it back, usually puncturing my hands on its thorns.
By the way, I hate the word "its." I had mediocre teachers in grade through high school and I've never been able to remember the rules for "its" versus "it's." And I know I ought to learn them, now that I am getting closer to the dreaded middle age years (I'm not there yet goddammit). But I have too many other exciting things to do. Like be amazed at a mosquito flying in front of my computer screen. Where did that come from???
