FIRST ’TIS COLD, THEN ’TIS HOT

We got a real frost, or freeze, rather, Tuesday night which put the finishing touches to late garden truck which had been nurtured through the lighter frosts by covering at night. The frost Wednesday night cleaned the platter entirely, freezing Ice % of an Inch thick* or more on vessels of water setting outside. Wednesday and Thursday, especially the latter, were quite warm, oppressively so, and yesterday the mercury at noon registered 70 degrees in the shade. Rain has fallen considerable of the time, both night and day, since Wednesday, and it was still drizzling yesterday. “Cloudy and cooler,” is the prophecy for today.
