Well Thursday was the coldest morning at 28 degrees in many moons, actually years. The garden suffered some freeze damage as did some of the shrubs but they will come back, maybe. It was cold for most of the day except by early afternoon we almost reached the 50 mark, but the wind or slight breeze kept it almost bone chilling throughout the day. I was nearly frozen when I got to the Rec. a little before 8 while riding my bike, yeow.
I started the day much the usual with a before 6'ish rollout to a cup of hot green tea laced with turmeric while I posted this ramble and then spent a few moments with my Creator in thanksgiving and lifting up several by name. The updates are all good with no major issues except for the constant freezing temps and snow throughout much of the nation. I got in a good workout at the Rec. on the pickle ball court before stopping off at the library for a couple new reads and then heading home to uncover my garden plants.
The bush beans suffered the worst freeze damage and a few of the tomato plants had some tips frozen but other than that I think all will recover despite the 28 degrees when I awakened. This morning (Friday) its 41 which is a big difference but the heat has been running all night long. Its supposed to reach the upper 60's today and then the 70's by Sunday. Nancy made a pot of tortilla soup for supper which is always a favorite but any kind of soup in these temps is welcome. I pulled my first jalapeno peppers for the soup from the plant I brought back from the cabin in Nov. I thought it would die from the shock of being uprooted but it made it and is now producing somewhat.
Well after supper and the cleanup we settled into the FOX News Channel but I was surfing the HBO channels we have with this new internet provider and saw the movie Sully was playing so we watched about an hour of it which was a decent flick that portrayed the saving of 155 lives in a plane landing into the Hudson River after both engines were deadened by birds ingested on take off. That was the first movie we have watched on TV in years. We hit the showers and then I tuned into the Lightning game and they were getting beat by a Vegas team at home, oh well, LATER
