Another Warm Morning, Perhaps The Last For '09?
Tags: Life In General
The temperature is currently 63F / 17C and it's late September. Wow, this is warm for this time of year.
According to Accuweather, whose accuracy record can be dubious, tomorrow night the temperature will dip to 30F / -1C and then back up again with no more frosts in the foreseeable future, all the way to October 8 but that forecast could change with the click of a mouse. It looks like I'll be out in the garden putting on row covers tomorrow evening. If the row covers work, I should be able to squeeze a few more weeks of production out of the garden and get some more summer squash.
This will be a good time to catch up on any outdoor activities like washing the car, painting, etc. The good news about the frost is that it will kill off or significantly diminish the insects. No more skeeters! I can live with that. Shall we schedule a hike up the mountain now? It has been a long time since the last one and we are overdue. (Tom is exempt due to his balky knee.)
