  1. The Spirituality of Seasonal Transitions

    Happy Memorial Day! For many of us, this day marks the unofficial beginning of summer. But the land keeps its own calendar. This essay reflects on the sacred year here in Kansas City as it turns through migrating wings, hedge apples, first frost, thawing clay, and spring storms.

  2. Since 2000 I've been recording the #firstfrost date for my home in the Milpitas foothills. (Not much to look at yet, just a frosting on the rooftops.) Though the date bounces around each year, the trend is about one day later every two years.

  3. My last minute #harvest before the frost tonight.

    NWS forecasts a low of 27°F, but our farm weather station thinks 26°F. I'm pretty sure it's going to be a hard freeze though. 😬 I've covered all my sweet 🫑and hot 🌶 peppers with AG-50 frost row cover cloth. We shall see if the peppers can make it. The plants are loaded with immature fruits! 😫

    I'm almost done bringing in all my houseplants and potted herbs.

    It's a lot of work to prepare for #FirstFrost. #GardeningMastodon #GrowYourOwn #Food

  4. Anyone else had to do the manic 'very early frost forecast shuffle' today? My conservatory is up a large flight of stairs - thank God my daughter was in to help! Tomatoes aren't finished yet either. Palms, ginger, tender yuccas and big pots in greenhouse. The bananas and Colocasias/Alocasias are going to have to brace themselves.

  5. The thermometer is headed for a very cold low tonight. I guess that's it for the flowers and many herbs.
    The kale might come through okay, as it's pretty hardy. Sage might be okay too, but uncertain.

  6. Looks like everything came out of the night mostly unscathed! It only got down to 35°F and only for a little bit. We could only cover the pumpkin/squash patch right down the middle, so the edges did get frost damage. The #garden seemed to be in it's own microclimate & I can only see damage on the green bean plants. As always, have to wait 24 hours until we can tell for sure. #FirstFrost #GardeningMastodon/4

  7. A troubled, cold, and fitful wind is blowing on this gloomy day. I can literally feel the #FirstFrost approaching and it gives me a sense of dread. It feels more like it might be a hard freeze 🤔🥶 as I prepare everything for the frost. Around here we #garden until the last minute and let the first frost bring it all to a screeching halt!

  8. This is the view from my kitchen window this morning. I’ve been up early making bread. Significantly, this is our first frost of the winter, also our first below zero temp and first snow on the Ben. Up until now it’s been unseasonably warm #Scotland #nofilter #photooftheday #sunrise #ViewFromMyKitchenWindow #FirstFrost #ClimateCrisis
