Well, the weather heads hit it on the button this morning. Yesterday
we picked the whole garden. Three buckets of green tomatoes,
eggplant, etc. Just in case the temps might actually hit freezing. I
got up to give the dawg her meds and grub at 0530 and, sure enough,
the thermometer said it was 36F and still dropping.

It's 16° here with a predicted high today of 26° ... and a low tonight of
12° .


My allergies are driving me crazy, runny nose, weeping eyes, sneezing,
etc. Guess I will have to make an appointment with the allergist and
see what can be done. My doctor has already told me that it is
probably caused by the meds he and other doctors have prescribed for
me, mostly the heart and stroke meds that I have to take to stay on
earth instead of in it. You have to be very brave to get this old and
still standing. It is a PITA but I guess I still have great grands to
train. VBG George

Find a local beekeeper that sells raw unfiltered *LOCAL* honey , take a
teaspoon every day . We do , and it helps with our pollen-related
allergies - your meds might be making you more sensitive . Your state
beekeepers ass'n can help find that beekeeper ... it is also good to get
fall honey for fall allergies , the pollens are different vs spring . Fall
honey is usually darker and has both a stronger aroma and flavor . I didn't
pull any this fall , too busy building a bedroom ...
