It's not pretty, but it's cheap...and it works!

47° forecast here for tonight. So weird!

Edit: or, as some people call it, 32°. The forecast had already rolled over to today when I wrote this.

We had heavy frost on the car roof and back window this morning. Technically the local weather forecast was for 33°F, NO frost warning. Glad I went with my instinct and covered the gardens!

Instincts come through!
Trusting those *these days* isn’t a bad idea.

It should work, even if it won't ever make the cover of Better Homes and Gardens!

It seems a key qualifier of a “Better Garden” should be one that’s producing in November - like yours!

I've a friend online who is like me, uses whatever works: feedbags, shower curtains, plastic tablecloths, you name it!

It's in the backyard, so who cares?

I found a can of sardines that must have been my dh's, and only expired last month.

The chickens were in seventh heaven...

Ooo, I think there’s one way in the back of the fridge that needs to be liberated!

- they’d better like it, because I don’t need the remnants of our backyard to reek of stinkyfish for the next week or two.

Last week I had some slightly old cooked chicken that they scarfed up, but they liked the sardines better!

I’m glad the bantys got to enjoy them, sounds like a pre-Thanksgiving treat!

Will this be your first Thanksgiving without Ron? I know you were dealing with a lot last year around this time, time sure has gone fast.

Yes. Thank you. Last year we didn't do much with Thanksgiving that I recall, and Christmas was spent in the hospital.

But I won't be bored, as I am supposed to pick up Caleb from the foster's Wednesday after noon. I hope to do pre-cooking, but either way it's going to be chaotic!

All worn out after playing.
