Yesterday the yard man made his first appearance, mowed, trimmed, and aerated the grass, and turned on the sprinkler system. Today, it was 80°. I broke down and turned on the A/C. And the forecast for Wednesday is — you guessed it — snow and freezing temperatures. ¡Mamma mia!
Ayup. Weird weather we’re having these days.
Has it been as wacky there as it has been here?
Sure has. We had a freeze one night last week… after it had been up in the 70’s for a while. We had put out flowers in the front pots, etc. So that night we’re out there covering up all the potted flowers with garbage bags to protect them – and it worked. I imagine only because it was below freezing for just an hour or two… right before the sun starts to rise.
Then back up to nearly 80. Then down to 50 as a high. Up and down. Up and down. And no rain.
Keep an eye on those flowers. It may not be over yet.
I think down here we are safely through the night freezes.
DAMN IT! I hate being wrong… It is supposed to drop below freezing here in the valley tonight. #%^@)3!!
We’re supposed to get another freeze tonight too, but not as bad as last night. Hope you can save your fleurs.
