Frozen.

That's what the temperature will be tonight... frozen.  As in freezing.  As in below 32 degrees.

Give me a blessed break. Yesterday was warm and sunny and beautiful... felt so much like Spring that we all went walking yesterday afternoon and it was just wonderful.

Today.... stupid weather... cold winds, dropping temperatures.  I may hide under the covers until the temperature goes back up to 80 degrees.

Speaking of 'under the covers,' my husband spent most of this afternoon wrapping up rose bushes in blankets and old sheets..... and we have an awful lot of rose bushes out there. I just can't get into wrapping up plants and flowers.... if they're that delicate to be freezing in this stupid weather, then we don't need them out there in the first place. But he wanted to wrap them, and that's what he did. On this windy day, it wasn't an easy job, to say the least, but he got it done.

One good thing.... these blasted cold snaps don't last for too long here..... my cousins in NY are coping with much colder temperatures, plus snow and ice, and their stupid weather lasts for months, not just days.  Still.... I remember the Texas winters of years ago when we rarely needed to wear a sweater or a jacket from December through February. Those were the days....
