Well, after a beautifully perfect and sunny 70-degree weekend, we got our first taste of fall today. It was rainy and chilly with a high of just 55 degrees! Tomorrow night is supposed to bring our first frost, although we usually don't see those low temps since we so close to the heatsink of the downtown concrete and steel. I suppose that's one advantage of being in an urban setting.
I closed one of the windows in the coop and lowered the sash on the other one to keep the girls nice and toasty in this cool weather. They rewarded me today with 3 eggs *in the nesting box*. Seems like they are getting in the groove with where to lay those eggs.
We're still getting a ton of tomatoes and I grabbed two pockets full this evening after I put the girls "to bed". I think I may go ahead and cover the plants tomorrow night just in case it does get cold enough to frost.
Shivering,
