Current temperature is 29F so we may see a lot of frost this morning. The prediction is for sun and a high temp in the 40s.

Evidently the temps have gone into the 40s. Nice that a weather report has been accurate for a change. We did get frost all the way down to the grass. I pulled a pepper plant that had refused to die after I cut it down a month or so ago. It had been a disappointment from the start but suddenly it decided to do something--too late, of course. The other disappointing pepper got the same treatment and did the same sudden growth but is in a more protected area of the patio and doesn't look so cold shocked as the other. It will stay for a while. Begonias, geraniums, creeping jenny and petunias are all still doing nicely.

I tried a new recipe for small batch sourdough pancakes which turned out well although not as fluffy as we like. That may take a bit of tinkering. The sourdough bread is almost ready to come out of the oven and smells wonderful. We love it when I am baking bread or drying herbs. The scent pervades the house.
