Ready for the Frost

*4UM8QAD592BF*

They are calling for frost tonight as the temperatures are supposed to dip down to 32°. I have potatoes and green beans that have sprouted through the soil already so I figured I'd better not take a chance. At first I thought that I would just go out early in the morning and spray my plants off before the sun came up.
Doesn't that sound fun?
A cold morning tromping through the wet grass with a garden hose in hand.
It sure doesn't to me! So after talking to my Dad tonight I decided to just cover them. I recruited Logan to help me a bit.
He placed the newspaper over each plant creating a little tent as I put a shovel full of dirt around the edges. I sure hope I got enough dirt on them so that all that newspaper doesn't get blown off in the wind.
We shall see!
I've never had to cover or mess with plants before due to frost warnings so I'll just have to wait and see if this newspaper method works.
Just as we finished in the garden tonight we looked up to see this full moon rising above the hillside. Pretty isn't it?

It's been another one of those days. My husband called again from work this morning. Remember a while back I said that an early morning phone call from him was never good. Well it happened again. He called to tell me that a dumptruck in front of him had just kicked up a rock and it busted his windshield. It put a big crater in it. It didn't go clear through the windshield but almost. It sent little slivers of glass flying to the back of the Explorer. I couldn't believe it when I looked in the back seat and saw the pieces of glass laying here and there.  
If it's not one thing (problem) then it's another.
As my husband said today, "If it weren't for bad luck then we would have no luck at all."
Even though I would have like to have cried I had to laugh when he said it.
So we'll be off to get a new windshield on Thursday.
Well I've had enough for today so I'm off to bed.
Night Night!
