There ought to be a law against having to pull the blanket back out of the closet once Spring's started here in Texas. I mean the A/C had been running for weeks. I'm looking out my window now at the wind blowing the new oak leaves. Thick clouds with temp's in the low 40's and the chill factor's well down into the 30's. Good chance of a freeze across the area tonight which means moving some plants into the garage. Those plants have been out almost a month now. Some of them are so big, I have to use a hand truck to move them. Phew.

A neighbor across the street had company arrive yesterday from Kansas or somewhere in the frozen north. They probably brought this weather with them. All I know is *somebody* left the north gate open. Holy Moly.
