Apparently, those National Weather Service people don't mess around--if they say it's going to snow, it's going to snow even if it is only October 10. Which leads me to the next question: If we are experiencing Global Warming, who got the "warm" part?
We turned on the heat today. There's cheap and then there's frostbite. Andy now works from home, and when he was shivering so much he couldn't type, we decided it was time.
And on the harvest front, I moved these outside our front door yesterday for a little sun (being the south side & better sun than the back yard) so the skins could "cure" for longer storage
and only these came back:
I don't know whether to be bothered by the fact that people steal squash or disappointed that I didn't put the extra cucumbers out as well.And remember how many tomatoes we had?
We now have 13 pints of salsa verde
and now we're down to
I know--I can't see any difference either. Maybe I'll put some out on the front doorstep tomorrow.....Do you realize it's possible that we'll have picked fresh tomatoes and shoveled snow in the same week? Nature is obviously taking it's lead from Wall Street lately. How far inland must we be to truly be out of hurricane danger???????

WOW! on the snow - you are totally allowed to have heat on, then :)
Sorry about the punkin stealers, though; yes, offer them some tomatoes and see what transpires!
Holy cow - snow!!?? We still have the AC on!
I grew up in upstate NY and as a kid NOTHING was worse that having to wear a jacket (and possibly a hat and scarf) over your halloween costume, so I know about snow in october, but it's even early for that!
We are getting the warm part of global warming - it's been in the 80's recently, but now it is cooling down a bit. In the past we have usually had at least a dusting of snow by Halloween, but not in the past few years.
Maybe next year you can leave zucchini outside the front door and see if it too disappears!
