This morning, we had our first patchy frost. It covered the rooftops, but I only saw it in a few places on the grass. It seems that the garden plants, at least in my garden, were spared... there will be basil and tomatoes for another day!
The frost followed a pretty crazy day of temperature fluctuations. Monday it got up to 80 degrees, and then a storm came briefly through and the temperatures dropped like a lead balloon. Tuesday's predicted high was around 65, but I don't think it even approached that. I was cold all day with a sweater on, for the first time since... at least May. Then last night, the low was a record-breaking 35 degrees F... followed by a lovely, mild (but windy), 70 degree daytime.
Winter coats and gloves at breakfast, shirt sleeves at lunch! How do we prepare for that?
