I just checked the thermometer–32 degrees!!! And it’s 10:00 pm. That means it’s going to get colder as the night goes on. I can’t remember the temperature ever being this cold for as long as I’ve lived in So.Cal. I’m hopeful that my outdoor plants survive as my front porch is loaded with plants that are normally considered house plants. Not much I can do since I have no where to put them indoors. And the cats would no doubt destroy them (and get sick in the process) so I’ll just have to wait and see.

Patrick and Veronica are headed up to Big Bear for the weekend–where the temperature is dropping to 6 degrees tonight! I hope they both have plenty of warm clothes. They probably won’t think it’s cold at all when they get back after spending 2-3 days in single-digit temperatures!
