Winter is here!

Light frost last night, expect it very light again for the next week. Just enough to burn the soft grasses and weeds but not really damage my beans.

The days are over 10C so its really not "cold" , totally fine at night with the fire on. I always fear the 0C overnight temps cos the first year that I lived here, I was sleeping on the floor and it was COLD. I hadnt yet gor a winter wardrobe at that time either, my sunny summer clothes were no match for the inland cold. But now i have a bed and firewood and warm crocheted clothes and feel truly blessed to be in this place.
Well summer is here it's 91F ~ 33C and that big orange ball in the sky is unobstructed. Complete with the first official heat advisory.

But ofcourse... I did exactly the opposite of Ecclesiastes 11:6 and replaced my starter on my truck in the cool of the morning and tilled and sowed a 40'x50' ~ 12Mx15M block of corn, in the heat of the afternoon. I started getting dizzy and sick to my stomach, that was my sign to take a break and get some water. Some people ---> (ME) <--- never learn.

Ecclesiastes 11:6 (NLT)
Plant your seed in the morning and keep busy all afternoon, for you don’t know if profit will come from one activity or another—or maybe both.

Jesus is Lord and Christ 🙏❤️🇺🇸

It has been cool the past few days. Only in the low 90’s. We sent summer to the west coast. Oops. Didn’t mean to do that. Y’all can send it back. We are used to it and better prepared.

Longest I ever went without power was almost 5 weeks, after a hurricane. It was hot, humid, not even a breeze and the biggest swamp skeeters ever, that blew in from the Gulf of Mexico.
