The Tempest

We woke this morning to a windy maelstrom. My first thoughts went to the peas that had just been transplanted during a sunny idyll yesterday. Would they be able to withstand the violent force of the wind? When I made it outside, I saw that they were bravely resisting, but who knows how long...and a frost was forecast tonight. So, I made haste to cover all of the garden frames with plastic and rolled the one container full of peas into the garage. There is something very satisfying about being out in the weather when Mother Nature roars. I was happy that I was able to quickly protect all of the hardy winter survivors and freshly planted peas and go on with my day.
