Brrrrrrr….
Woke up this morning to a very cold house and 25F on the back porch and a nasty east wind pulling the wind-chill down to about 10 or 15 degrees. Unfortunately, our plants were getting used to the warmer weather and this cold snap is going to do some damage. Already we’re seeing leaf die off on our nursery stock of Gunnera and my Tree Peonies are showing leaf burn on the fresh leaves. Sigh… Don’t think it’s going to kill anything, but it’s definately going to set some of the plants back.
Spent the morning breaking ice in watering troughs. Luckily, I had gotten everybody’s water filled in the past couple of days. We heat with wood, and I’ve had a fire going hard all day just to keep the house warm. Supposed to be a *bit* warmer this evening, but I’ll make sure the stove is full before I go to bed.
OKC: Not much to report today. The weather kind of put a crimp in any extra time I usually have in the morning..
