For us it was not a hard freeze. I've seen no damaged vegetation. It could be a week or more before the next freeze. Leaves are turning, however, and trees are shedding leaves. Plenty of sunshine and comfortable temperatures for the weekend. The Thanksgiving forecast is not bad at all. I recall a Thanksgiving, back when I lived in a dormitory, that was warm and windy and very dusty.
We might have our first freeze tomorrow morning, which would put an end to our growing season. I've been dreading that. At least we had a fairly warm October.
Yesterday and this morning it poured down again, and the playa lakes are REALLY full now, just in time for the arrival of migratory birds. They will find things in good condition to winter over here. It's unusual to have such a wet Fall. Maybe that means we'll have a lot of snow, but I hope not. Snow is a pain. And ice is worse.
Our fine weather continues as the bindweed grows and spreads. One weed to bind them all. Heehee. It's a little windy today but it will be warm. Some strange things have happened. Maybe I shouldn't be surprised. Some things are not under my control.
But at least we have plenty of sunshine. Warm by Saturday. Cold Sunday. And so on.
