A record of my life updated at random times and for random reasons.

I woke at 5:30 this morning, looked at the temp and went on a plant rescue mission. 34 F and everything in pots had to come in. It is too early to know if the plants (3 x hibiscus, curry, and plumbago) will survive, though they looked fine today. The hibiscus are the most likely to have suffered as they are only hardy to 50.

Went for a walk in the woods with Carol this afternoon. It was really quite pretty, all green and fresh though the signs of fall are creeping about. A large patch of wild sunflowers was still blooming in the ditch on the way to the park. I kind of like the wild sunflowers, they have smaller flower heads and more of them on each plant.

While it is way too early for frost (usual first frost date is late Oct. early Nov) it seemed appropriate seeing as it is Canada Thanksgiving. So happy Turkey day yall.
