Hmm. Interesting weather. The temperature has dropped throughout the day, and we're now under 50°, and it's raining. I'm hoping that the temperature won't drop too low, and that everything that is budding and blooming will survive. Oddly enough, this rain might help, because if it gets really cold, any ice will protect rather than hurt the plants. (That's why you see them hosing down the trees in Florida orchards when it gets really nippy.) I don't think it will get that cold, so maybe everything will be okay. I was actually hoping for the clouds to roll in, because cloud cover could keep it from getting too cold tonight! I also hope that Hummy will find a little hidey hole where he can keep warm!
I'm still sticking with my little workouts! Today was hand weights for my arms. I told Ken what all I was doing, and he suggested one more, holding the weights out at shoulder height and bringing them into my midline. Good suggestion, and I added that today.
I went to the grocery store this morning and decided to get stuff for stir fry. I've got beef, broccoli, mushrooms, and pea pods. And Vidalia onions, of course! Oh, and I got another cutting board, a bamboo one. I have a large glass one, and I like using that for meat, because I can put it into the dishwasher. This is smaller, and it will look nice up against the wall, but I'll have to handwash it, so I'll use this one just for veggies. Veggies like ONIONS!
Awww. Even though it's down to about 45° and raining, Oreo is out there in the rain chowing on oranges and suet. Get plenty of fuel, buddy, and find a place to stay warm. I know it's silly to worry about our critters--they almost always find a way to protect themselves and find shelter. Living here has certainly been an education in how nature works, and it's not always pleasant. I just hope for the best and keep in mind that it's the natural order of things.

I'm going to be bringing some of my plants indoors and cover others with pillow cases. There is a chance of frost tonight, but I hope nothing gets damaged. Great going on your workouts!

I am back to my original Journal at least I hope it works out till my new tower comes in. It has been cold here in Nebraska also. I hate the cold temps when my flowers are blooming. Have a good rest of the day. Lucille4364

my grandma ate an onion every single day for lunch along with the rest of her food. She always smelled like onions. She died at 98 and a half yrs of age.
We have the same weather as you do. Cold!
HUGS! -
At work, we have a suet feeder hanging on a tree outside our office. It's a lot of fun to watch the different birds come and discover the treat. Your right though, I worry about them in the rain and cold weather !!
Have a great day,
Ellen
