    I had white crap on the roof of the house this morning! It got down to 36 here this am. On the local news this morning they said a Frost Advisory for the lower 2/3rds of Ohio for Mon. morning. :(

    Oh, dear! I'm getting my vegetable beds ready to plant and you are getting ready for winter. I definitely do not want to change places with you. Get ready for snow next, but do not send it this way.

    No! No! Not the 'F' word!! Fire up the smudge pots!! Maybe we can ward off the inevitable. :-(

    We've been having the 'F' word for a couple of days now. Scraping ice off the windscreen of the car every morning too. I'm simply not ready for a break in the weather like this yet. :(

    I don't want the frost either... but some cooler temps would be welcomed with open (sleeved) arms.

    I don't think we have frost in the forecast yet, but I did fire up the furnace for the greenhouse since I have 40 or so tomatoes just starting to produce a decent number of fruits... it is supposed to get down to 37* tonight :'(

    I've had to close all the doors and windows and turn on the AC and ceiling fans just to get it comfortable inside. Today, Hubby and I sat under the shade tree with a fan blowing on us just to be able to sit there and enjoy the afternoon.
    Feast or famine when it comes to the "F" word. :stew2:

    No frost last night. The greenhouse stayed at 54* with a visit to re-stoke it when I took the puppy out for her overnight relief piddle.
