5/18/23 Some of those who know the dollar value of everything don't know the true value of anything.

A low of 30 here on the hilltop means damaging lows elsewhere.  It is 32, clear with a light west breeze now.  A strong WNW breeze today with sunshine, a high of 68.  A light SSW breeze tonight with a low of 38.  Sunshine tomorrow with a SSW  wind, a high of 69, a low of 48.  Clouds on Saturday with a light SSW wind, a high of 69.  A nice rain Saturday night with a strong SSE breeze, a low of 54.  Showers Sunday morning with a strong WSW breeze, a high of 73, a low of 42.  Sunny Monday with a strong WSW breeze, a high of 73, a low of 42.  Sunny Tuesday with a brisk north breeze, a high of 64, a low of 36.  Partly cloudy Wednesday and Thursday, brisk  WNW breezes,  highs of 73,  lows of 47.  Partly cloudy next Friday with a strong SW breeze, a high of 74, a low of 51.

    Last night was not a good night.  I fear the blossoms on the fruit trees and berries were damaged.  Local strawberry farmers had sprinklers on to protect their crop.  Were the sprinklers enough?  Our little row of strawberries is probably damaged.  At two am I turned the heater up to medium and put extra remay on the squash and cucumbers in the little vegetable greenhouse.  The extra remay probably wasn't necessary but it couldn't hurt and I was afraid the temperature would drop more.  It didn't but the low in the gardens is always a few degrees more than the low here at the house.  Last night I put a couple of layers of remay on my flowers in my little greenhouse next to the house.  It doesn't have heat. I think the flowers will be ok.

    Yesterday was a cold windy day.  There weren't as many customers as other days.  Jay and Bekah got the weeds hoed out of the potatoes.  They watered and rearranged perennials and did other odd jobs.  They were in the house for coffee and the heat from the wood stove more than usual.

     May God bless you on this day, Sally
