The big freeze is tonight. The weatherman says it should go down to 23, between 1AM and 10AM.
So - we're not going to cover the plants. Their time is up. Our weather? It's been cloudy or rainy. Raw. But it's beautiful now. Maybe Paul can even mow. Right now, there's still a lot of dew on the grass. (10:30AM) (It looks good for this afternoon.) Most of the outside furniture will be brought in. Except for two chairs we're gonna leave out - just in case.
We have a brand new hamburger place over by Panera Bread that we've been to, two times. It's a restaurant chain called Five Guys. Have you heard of it?
They've got all kinds of rave notices tacked on their walls. (from newspapers around the country.) The only way to describe it is: The minute you enter the store, your cholesterol count rises. Take note: Their portions are extremely large. Plus add-ons are all free: tomatoes, grilled onions, mushrooms, cheese, lettuce - you name it.
They offer two size hamburgers - Regular and Small. You'd think that the regular size would have one burger. So, the first time we went, we ordered it. Nope - it's two burgers. It's too much. Our second time, last Saturday, we ordered two small ones. Still too much. Maybe next time we'll order one small, cut it in half, and share it.
Fries: As kids would say - "they're to die for." And rightly so. Freshly cut, and fried right there. We didn't order any the first time, but we got some this past time. Again - Their portions are big. Way too much. The hamburger and fries come in a paper bag. Again - we ordered the smallest. They give you a cup and it overflows with as much outside the cup as inside it. More than enough for us to share. We left there stuffed. Very bad for you, but once in a blue moon we'll suffer through it without feeling too guilty.
So - we'll have our frost tonight - and we'll be ready for it. Looking forward to going south.
So - what's happenin' in your neck o' the woods?
