I hate bringing my tree in. It gets sooooo happy and green and shiny, outside for the summer. It does fine with mid-30s temps, but when the thermometer drops into the 20s ... I bite the bullet and bring it in.

(I have had this tree since February of 1983, so I guess it will probably tolerate yet another dry dusty winter.)

That last pic was taken out the bathroom window. That is the only window we haven't put the storm on, so I had to keep mopping it off (pic taken after DH's shower)....

The foggy window is the source of the kind of "romantic blur" they get in Hollywood by smearing petroleum jelly on the lens.
