Goodness...Sometimes my weekends feel busier than my weekdays!
It frosted here last night. I mean a good and hard frost. I had to dig an ice scraper out of the back closet and take it out to my car and give it a good scrape down. Mind you, I had started my car ahead of time...I have been feeling cold this fall and this new car seems to take a bit more time to get the hot air blowing through it in the mornings...I am thinking of how wonderful it would be to have a remote car starter.....Especially now that I have a job and will have to get up and going in the mornings. It would be nice to be able to come out to a warmed up car and softened ice/snow for easier clean off.
My landlady has a huge dahlia. It is bush sized and has been putting out beautiful red flowers for a few weeks now. The frost hit the plant hard and it is now drooped and dark (frozen leaves turn dark green after they thaw) and done for the season. I will miss the bright cheerful flowers.
I guess we need to get ourselves organized in terms of weather. We need to get the storm windows on the chicken coop, get the deck cleaned off...Other miscellaneous seasonal related chores too....
If only there was more time in the day!
