Bathing Suit or Overcoat?

Last week it was in the 90s with air conditioning.

Yesterday it was in the 80s with doors and windows open.

Today the high will be 53, with a cold front and high winds bringing it down into the 40s with freezes tonight and tomorrow night.

Ah, Arkansas!

I’m as ready as I can be with two newest tomato plants dug up and repotted in the greenhouse, sheets and clothespins ready to try to protect veggies in the garden and tender plants in a planter. Irrigation systems have been turned off and drained. Hummingbird bird bath emptied, turned off, and drained.  We repaired the greenhouse and generally tried to batten down the hatches.

I was going to try to gather leaves and make mulch, but yesterday’s 30 mph gusty winds discouraged that. Same for finishing my pressure washing. Same for weed whacking.

As you can see, the freezes will last only long enough to kill a bunch of my sweet plants and then we’ll have more fall-like temperatures again. :0(

I’ll TRY to quit my ‘whine and cheese’ act,  but my nose is pretty out of joint this morning. I’m glad we can look forward to seeing our good friends at Lunch Bunch in about an hour.

May YOUR day be just the way you like it best!
