Winter has come late this year, but this week it finally arrived. After weeks where the nights barely dipped below freezing and days where I was working barefoot in a t-shirt by 11 am, the cold season is now here with a bang. Yesterday, after a nighttime temperature in the low 20's, I found the bottle washing station iced over and the previous day's leftover cob frozen in the cement mixer. Took me nearly all day to thaw it. And this morning, this is what I walked outside to find:
 |
| What happens when you forget to turn off the sprinkler at night. |
 |
| Grass doesn't usually look like this... |
(It sure puts the brakes on an early start to work when the hose is frozen solid!)
I promise promise promise that soon there will be a nice big post about greenhouse, with a building progress report and pictures of the greenhouse and so on. But can you blame me for wanting to share this first? As much as I'm enjoying the near-constant sunshine of the desert, I've been feeling nostalgic lately for snow. This is probably as close as I'll get for a while.
