    I've been gardening, too. We tore down some old wood fences and are using the boards to make more raised vegetable garden beds. The high temperature today for us will be 47 degrees and the low will be 29 tonight. I'll have to haul my tender plants back into the greenhouse this afternoon.

    I finally got one of my old cats to come in the house last night. It was windy and raining with a major cold front moving in so I kind of freaked out when she didn't come home for her supper. She showed up about 9:00 pm, howling for her food and racing around the house like a feral!

    I replanted my microgreen garden with a mixture of lettuce seeds. I should have baby sprouts ready to pick in about 10 days. @WhitewaterWoman - are those vanilla pods?!
