Sick of the Cold/ Freezing Weather

I have to get used to this blogging. It's been more than a month since my blogging debut! 

I am so sick of this cold, freezing weather. Up until today, we had been awakened  almost daily at around 3AM by  the wind machines that surround our house.  That doesn't bother me; I can go right back to sleep. It's the thought of all of our beautiful fruits and vegetables being subject to this weather. We should have had strawberries weeks ago but still are waiting for the great onslaught of rich, ripe fruit. 

Up until the tomatoes and summer squash were planted last week, the susceptible fruits and vegetables: the baby berries and asparagus tips kept freezing. This was a loss we could take as it wasn't worth the cost of putting the sprinklers on and we knew they would eventually come back when the weather improved. Last week the tomatoes and summer squash had to be transplanted and so, with the freezing temperatures, Wayne has been getting up at 3AM to go to the field, turn on the sprinklers and protect the baby plants. It seems to have worked. 

Here's a picture of a small tomato plant with ice crystals on it.
