Frost's A-Comin'


I woke up this morning to find the temperature outside hovering between 1 and 2 degrees.  The next few nights are forecast to dip to 0 - 3 degrees, depending on which report you read.  To be on the safe side, I decided to cover the winter squash and tomatoes.  These pictures were taken around 6:00pm, as the sun was starting to go down, so they are a little grainy.


 South side tomatoes, all tucked in...




...as well as the sprawling cherry tomatoes in the potato patch.




Within five minutes of finishing, Bea showed up to see what all these clean sheets were doing in the garden.




A minute after that, so did Lou.




I walked back toward the house, confident that they would follow.  They did, but just as we were about to go into the house, they spotted more sheets and...


Hello, what's this!  Will it hold me...?











Opps. Almost dropped into the tomato cage...
























Their frost-cover-fort exploration complete, kitties are now inside snoozing, one on the computer chair, and one on the bed.  :)
