This morning's temperature

On our courtyard thermometer at 7:00 a.m. -- a balmy 10F.

Eat your hearts out, you shivering Midwesterners!

Seriously, this is pretty chilly for us, and I am kicking myself for not having moved the plants into the alley this year. I hope I don't lose the peony. (But why should I? pameladean grows 'em in Minneapolis!)

I went out back and flang out an extra couple of handsful of seed for the sparrows.
