0084

The sun has come back out today, so I put thoughts of the furnace behind me (for now), and take to outdoor work. Dig potatoes, pick green beans, tomatoes, 2nd crop peas. Take most of the sunflowers to hang-dry inside the garage, but have lost over half the seeds to varmints already - just another thing that has gotten away from me.

Warm and sunny enough to make the rainwater almost bath-warm, but by late afternoon the temperature is plummeting, so I throw a tarp over the tomatoes by the garage, in case it frosts tonight.

By 9:30 pm, it's down to 46°.
