auntbijouIt was 82 degrees (27) when I went out at 2:30 to toss some stuff in the compost pile and grabbed the shovel to turn it all. I actually worked up a bit of a sweat, and reminded myself again to be sure to water it, because it was getting dry.
It was 64 (17) at 3:05 p.m. when I went to pick up the Impossible Son from school, and I had the windows open, thinking, "Wow, this feels just like air conditioning."
When I picked up the Impertinent Daughter a few minutes later after she had walked halfway home, she said, "Wow, this feels good! I got really hot walking!"
It is now... 36 (2). According to the weather at 6 p.m.... that was the projected low. I have a feeling when I turn the news on at 10... the projected low will have dropped considerably.
Should I brave the cold and go throw a blanket over my rose bush?
*is feeling very wimpy and cold-intolerant*
I'm telling you, this see-saw weather is wreaking havoc on my poor little ol' system!
*doesn't want to tell you about her doctor visit today*
It's a hardy rose. It'll be FINE! I'm going to stay here, nice and warm, yes, I am. Unless the weather at 10 says the temperature will drop to 26 (-3), in which case I will be throwing a blanket over my rose, my aloe vera and my kalanchoes.
*sigh*
ETA: Okay, as I was typing this, I starting hearing this... pinging sound outside. So... I went out to investigate and I found THIS:
And then I looked up and saw THIS:
CURSE YOU, WEATHERMAN!! YOU SAID NO FREEZE TONIGHT!! A PLAGUE, A PLAGUE UPON YOU, I SAY!!!
... not that I'm over-reacting or anything...
