The temperature when I got up at 4:30 am [oh sometimes I don't sleep so well and I just give up and get up!], was 28 degrees...
unless my foggy morning eyes were not seeing the thermometer properly.
We did have the heat turned off in the house. I turned it on to warm things up for the morning.
If you are curious, our house in not much more than a wee cabin.
Yesterday we had a hard frost also.
The grass was pretty white except where it was protected under the trees.
But the ice crystals were pretty evident even by 9 am.
By late afternoon, it was nice and warm.
So here it begins again.
Start the morning with coveralls and a stocking cap and as the day warms towards noon peel off the other clothes.
Then go with a light jacket or even t-shirt weather like when I was pulling frosted and dead plants from the garden.
The hard frost always looks pretty ,yet always slippery.
ReplyDeleteSo far here in Southern New
England we haven't gotten a hard frost yet and I'm not complaining.
We might get a frost tonight. Gary has pulled most of the plants out of our gardens already. Just have some beets, leeks and spinach left. A wee cabin! I would love to see it.
