Tomorrow: first feeze


The National Weather Service has issued a freeze warning for tomorrow night. I made my rounds this evening as the birds were bedding down in the arbor vitae trees. Some blooming things will bite the dust in tomorrow’s freeze. Others, such as the camellias, will survive, but winter shabbiness will start to set in. I lit the pilot in propane fireplace. I had the last fresh pesto from the garden’s basil before it freezes. Summer is gone. Here in the Appalachian foothills, it was a good summer.
