    Chilly Tuesday | 5/100

    It got down to 36F last night so we brought the plants inside to prevent a freeze on them. We should have done the same with the water hose. Not a fun thing to wake up to. Nothing burst but there was no running water to start the morning with. Rather than sulk I hopped…
