Mother Nature is a cold woman...

Another frost. I don't think the pears, and maybe the apples and the plums, will survive this. The trees will have a year of growth with no fruit, I fear. Not great timing; the cost of groceries what it is, I was hoping that I could really zero in on filling the freezer with applesauce and pear sauce. It's in God's hands. Mother Nature is clearly giving us the cold shoulder. 

I'll still put out the herbs today; they've "hardened" enough already. Holly and I put in morning glory and flower seeds yesterday, so we'll see what comes of that. I'm feeling a little downhearted about the whole frost every night thing. At least the daytime temps are nice, but that doesn't make up for the cold nights. 

Another day of upended class today; this time, I might have three or four kids in APLit. This is bonkers, but at least I knew about it ahead of time. I'm already thinking about how I'll revise my timing for next year's round; I think I'll do some of the drama before testing weeks, maybe do things in a rotation. I dunno. I'm just damned tired of pushing string. 

The AP Lang kids face their gauntlet tomorrow. Only a couple have bothered to prep in any way. I am disappointed in their lack of interest in doing well. I wish them luck. They'll need it. It's out of my hands now.

Seems like a lot of things are. Hold your loved ones close. Make an oasis of sanity if you can.
