Our county is under a burn ban (winds and low humidity) so I shredded an inch stack of old health insurance statements and they're at the curb in the trash. The burn barrel lives in the greenhouse and yesterday when I was clearing things out I was reminded of these papers. The cart I put into the garage last night can move into the greenhouse today; that's where it used to live when this greenhouse and cart belonged to a late friend of mine, so it will have gone full circle.

The tomatoes and sweet potato vines wilted in last night's freeze but I'm glad to see that there are a number of other plants that tolerate that temperature. The almond verbena is new in my yard, transplanted last spring, and I know they tend to die back to the roots each year, but not so far. Same with the bush winter honeysuckle (also new).

Tomorrow is still a question mark for the roof because the credit union hasn't cleared the first check. Tomorrow is a holiday so we may have to wait till Wednesday or Thursday, but we are getting closer to rain (forecast on the weekend.) I've rescheduled a Wednesday appoint that takes me out of town for several hours because I suspect the roofing job will have to happen then.

It's a lovely day, clear and feels like autumn. Our high today is in the mid-50s, and warming into the 70s tomorrow. Wednesday looks just about perfect, sunny and predicted high of 79.
