Baby, It's Cold Outside

We're on our second day of unusually cold weather. The highs are below freezing, the lows are in the teens, and it's really windy. They say this may be with us for a week or two. We broke the ice on the bird bath every hour or two today. The birds were very happy with us--they visited the feeders all day, especially in the afternoon, getting prepared for a long, cold night.

My garlic sprouts have keeled over in the cold. I hope they recover once things warm up. I planted two palm trees this spring. They're supposed to be cold-hardy, and they seem to be OK so far. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
