It snowed today. Combine that with the fact that it snowed several inches on May 1st, Logan has less than half a year without snow. The only snow is good for is sledding and snowshoeing, otherwise I could do with moderate temperatures year-round. At least more than half the year. But really, in someways it is fun. Joe and I went running this morning, and he turned around to wait for me to catch up (because I’m slow), and I noticed he had snow on his jacket that said ‘Snow’ on it (from Snow College). It was funny. And it isn’t as cold when it snows.

The first frost came two nights ago. I was out checking my strawberry patch, and noticed all the tomatoes, peppers and squash in one night turned from healthy plants to shriveled, blackish dead things. I had a lot of questions in the Extension office worried about the frost. It was nice we didn’t have too early a frost, since up here it was very cold up through the first part of June.

I also cooked a bundle for lunch–ham chowder, zucchini bread, berry smoothies (with free berries from the research farm), watermelon (from the garden), and brownies. We invited several friends over to share in my cooking spree. I’ve been wanting to cook all that for a while, and today I finally had time. Wasn’t fun in the fact I just barely got done with all the dishes. It was worth it though–I’m just not going to do it everyday. And consider disposable dishes next time.
