Re: Frost

Drove up to One Green Earth nursery to pick up an order today. Chilly, very foggy; sometimes driving was more like groping. As they loaded the order, the fog lifted--great view of Mount Hood; what a magnificent sleeping giant that is--so I decided to wander back. And, of course, got... well... lost. Well, maybe not lost, but not exactly where I had thought I wanted to be, either. So I drove by solar navigation, aiming in the direction I wanted to go in according to the sun and shadows and that kinda stuff. Then I ran into fog again and just kept plodding along in directions that seemed right. Anyway, I drove through some valleys that were still completely covered with snow. I couldn't believe it; it was like the "Twilight Zone."

Sixties today and sunny. I cleaned 2 1/2 garden beds. Rain tomorrow
afternoon and then cold again. Typical February in our neck of the woods.

NOAA says we're in for a few more sub-32 nights, plus maybe snow tomorrow night. Not funny. Think I'll just watch "Aguirre, the Wrath of God" and 
imagine I'm in the Amazon basin, too.
