So guess what!?!?! We're going to get a frost tonight! Oh, happy, happy, joy, joy! So I just spent a good portion of my day hauling containers of plants down from the roof in an attempt to NOT feel the farmers' pain like I did the last time we had a frost and I lost about half of my tomatoes EVEN THOUGH we covered them. So there was NO TRUST with "covering of the plants" bit this time. I brought nearly everything down. Everything that was easily carriable, after the "what's wrong with my back" fiasco that happened last time. Anything in a huge container got put near the wall, under plastic, and under a canvas canopy. We'll see what happens.

*sigh*

In other news, I went to see "UP" with Patricia. It was OK. Fun at moments, hilarious at moments, with a simple plot and idea, a few tearful moments, and a few times where you were checking your watch. A good movie to enjoy with a friend, but it was no Terminator, and it certainly wasn't Star Trek. And as an added downside, there was NO CHANCE of seeing naked Robert Downey, Jr. chained to a bed with a pillow in the previews. So I say again:

*sigh*

We sort of rely on the black tar top of the roof to do the equivalent of the heated tile thing, radiating heat during the night to keep the plants warm. Everything survived, so we're good.
