Yep, we are enjoying a high temperature today of -3° here on the first official day of Winter. The wind is adding to the excitement with Wind Chills of 30° to 40° below zero. The good news is that starting today, the days will begin to get longer. The plants still in the High Tunnel (carrots, beets, spinach and chard are now in stasis and wont change much at all for the next month, but by the end of January, we will start to new new, measurable growth. Its amazing what the increasing day length will do. But for now, tuck in ya'll we're in for a cold winter's night.Sunday, December 21, 2008

"refreshing" huh? I have another word for it - a few, actually - but as this is a PG blog I will refrain. Love the pic!!!!
Is this really a PG blog??? Otherwise I have lots to say about the weather! Brrrr! I hate this stuff!
We need to talk to someone about global warming.
Brrrrrrrrr........!!!!!!! We'll try to blow some Texas warmth up to you. Alyssa says, "And bring some of the White Christmas down here!" Kayleigh wants you to know, "The other day we were wearing flip-flops!"
Flip flops?? Oh now that's just rude! We'll see what we can do about sending a bit of our white christmas your way : ) Blue sends big holiday hugs to the girls.
