Sunny But Chilly Day

Friday started off cool with rain, but by the afternoon that weather moved out and the skies began to clear.  John, tired of being stuck in the house, headed into town for a quick round of golf before we headed up to JD's for supper.  Frost was in the forecast, so John covered the garden and brought in the hanging plants.  He also helped JD and Jo get their garden covered.  It's a good thing we all took the time to protect the plants as the temps dropped to 32 degrees overnight.  The long range forecast calls for lows in the mid 50's, so hopefully we've had our last frost.

This morning dawned bright, clear, and chilly with high's forecast to only reach the low 50's with strong breezes.  That meant bundling up for the track meet.  John and I left home at 9 a.m. for the hour and a half drive south to the meet. The preliminary heats for the sprints and hurdles were first thing before the main meet could get started.  I am happy to say Sam placed 2nd in both the 100 meter dash and open 400, so he will be heading to the state track meet next Friday and Saturday.  One other Clearbrook runner will also be heading to state in the open 200.

We stopped at Dairy Queen for a quick supper on our way home and after spending the entire day outside in the chilly wind, are both ready for a quiet evening in front of the TV.
