First Hard Freeze

November 30, 2024 It got down to 23 degrees F last night. When I got up to take Nox outside, the backyard was still covered in frost. I took some close up pictures of henbit covered with frost. The frost had started melting in the front yard. I am not sure what these weeds are. […]

When You Want To Sleep in Your New House But Don’t Have Bedroom Curtains, a Trashy Solution
