That cold weather that [livejournal.com profile] deevalish was talking about in CA the other day settled into my area last night. So for the second night in a row my backyard looks like my wife got mad and threw all my things out the second floor window. Except I don't have a second floor or a wife. The temps were down in the mid 20's this morning. Fortunately they warm up during the day. There aren't many of my plants that could take the 20's all day. Most of them don't even like a hint of those temps, but can take it as long as the growing tips are protected. So I've got every rag I can find, paper grocery bags and even foam coffee cups all over the yard protecting all the plants that need it. That doesn't count the ones I've taken from the patio into my bathroom. Oh yeah, my bathroom. Have you ever seen one of those really grimy back rooms/corners at your local plant nursery? My bathroom looks like that and will continue to look like that till we have a warm night.

I skipped the mutual admiration meme today, but know that I think all of you are kind, handsome, thoughtful, witty, intelligent, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent in some order.
