We had a light frost last night.\u00a0 Many flowers are now gone, tulips mostly, and a few leaves have that sickly green color that comes from burst cells in the stem.\u00a0 The weather service has predictions of 29 tonight, that means I’ll for sure have to cover the sensitive plants this evening.<\/p>\n
A really busy week last week with several trips in and out of the cities, meetings or events at various times of day and three days in a row at the MIA.\u00a0 It’s nice to have a few days where I can organize my time on my own.\u00a0 Not like there’s nothing to do, of course.\u00a0 My three bee colonies each will need inspection today or tomorrow and there’s weeding and other gardening chores.\u00a0 Latin, chapter 14 in Wheelock, will put me half-way through this text, usually used for a year long college level course.\u00a0 Then I’ll tackle my next four verses in Ovid.\u00a0 There is also a tour to prepare.<\/p>\n
