…as I watch television showing the horrible weather in the Northeast. I wrap up in a blanket (while watching) because I “feel” the cold!! My trailer must sympathize, too?? The furnace isn’t working!! A cold-front is moving into Texas and our temperature will drop twenty degrees within a few hours. I’m taking a coffee break (at 8:30)… but I’ve worked to correct the problem. I’ve flipped breaker switches–and still no power to many outlets. I’ve searched for another set of breakers; I’m searching my brain for a possible solution. I’d call my friend, Dave, but he and Vicki are camped in the desert Southeast corner of California near Arizona and Mexico. (Dave installed my TV antenna, pre-amplifier and rotator–after changing bracket supporting my TV set. He was a gracious, kind, considerate volunteer at CARE for several months.)

Pouring raining as I write this (8:50) and sixty-four degrees outdoors. The weather report says we may have freezing temperatures overnight!! I can bring the tomato plant indoors but will need to find some way to cover the recently transplanted Cape Honeysuckle and Mandevilla.

Feeling negative!! Keep me in your thoughts and prayers??

Postscript, 1:15 PM: Forty-two degrees!! Four hours later and temperature has dropped twenty-two degrees. Only a drizzle of rain right now.

2:30: Thirty-nine degrees. Too cold and wet to work on covers for the plants?!

4:00 PM: Weatherman just announced that the “wind chill” makes it feel like freezing.

4:40 PM: I braved the very unpleasant weather and covered plants. Some… under the awning; some indoors. The forecast indicates even colder tomorrow night!!
