Had clouds all day Sat…rain all sat night (over an inch)…it was mild though Sat…70Fs…
It was weird Sunday…the cloud/cloud free line sat just west of the Mississippi River all day…you could see clear blue skies most of the afternoon to the west. Finally as the sun set it became sunny for maybe an hour. Went hiking with 2 sons…very nice fall smell to the air in the forest…damp, mushroomy…very quiet.
Low 50s and partly cloudy here today, with a brisk breeze. Kinda cold, even. We got a good rain yesterday of about 1 1/4". Leaves are really starting to change here, although a lot have fallen already.
They’re calling for a lite freeze this weekend, but hoping it’ll hold off until some of my peppers will finish ripening. We’re past the average freeze day by about a week, so we’re on borrowed time anyway.
Well, I resisted as long as I could, but when it gets to 59° in the house it’s time to turn on the heat. Add to the fact that it’s going to be cloudy all day and not even get to 50°, I don’t really have a choice. But, I only set it to 62, so it shouldn’t be on too long.
This may be the latest we’ve ever turned it on. We went maybe 10 days since the AC was last on.
They’re calling for 33 tonight, so hope my pepper plants will make it alright. Guess I need to pick what’s left, just in case.
I picked all of my basil leaves two days ago, still a few out there, but you never know when a quick frost will pop up! Time for one last batch of pesto.
Taking a break from picking peppers, frost and snow Fri. pm.
