    For the last 2 nights I have had to bring in my flower pots. Tonight and tomorrow night I will be covering my vegetable garden with bed sheets in case we do get a frost or some snow!

    It was 80 degrees in April! :)

    Do you think I should cover my rose bushes with something? I am thinking pillow cases might work nice.

    I'd cover your rose bushes if they're in flower Sara and pillowcases sound good to me.

    I just saw your weather on the news, SaraM... Spring is sure taking its time for you. We're having wide fluctuations in temps too -- we've had close to 90 a few times, and now the next few nights are around 40 and even lower....

    I hope this is the last time you have to cover things!!!

    Your post sort of makes me grateful our temps have been fairly low this far. The snow we had on Tuesday didn't do much damage. Good luck with covering up and protecting your darlings.
