Maybe a frost warning

I hear we may dip down to freezing tonight. I probably should go put sheets on plants.
Maybe the cats will come in when I do and I can give them their evening food.
I have been to this site about three times to day and have been bumped off abruptly the first two times. It does not take me as long to get on, but I do not get a lot of time in before I am out again.
So, here I go, out to put sheets on at least my house plants. Hopefully my tomatoes and herbs will survive as they are somewhat sheltered and also more used to being outdoors.

It did not freeze that I can tell, but we need some warmth to get the things growing.

@Jessicalynnt Some of my plants, both houseplants and garden are showing a little frostbite or discoloration.

My plants did okay. Here I am at 2 a.m. Monday--insomnia--and the site is running fine.

@GardenGerty I was up at 3 this morning then took an hour nap at 7:30. I'm glad your plants did okay.

@just4him I am not going to make it a habit to be up that early, but it was nice this morning.

It supposedly was -4°C last night and they're still calling a frost warning for tonight. Not what you'd expect for May.

A lot of my friends in your part of the world were talking about a polar vortex.

@GardenGerty Yes... They're threatening 2cm of snow in Toronto today and then 21°C on Friday! As the radio gal just said, "I love the weather." NOT!
Currently raining outside my window here in St Catharines.

I am not sure who to believe, so I covered the houseplants again.

I am guessing it is because so many people are at home, but do not quote me. It is 2 a.m. and I cannot sleep. The site is purring right along like a charm.

@myklj999 Partly hungry, partly upset and annoyed and worried about a family situation. Getting upright I was able to reason through some of it, and put the worry to bed. Put a cheese stick in my tummy.

@GardenGerty I agree with you since it is supposed to be warmer tomorrow before rain comes on Thursday and Friday.
