Just checked the forecast, now they're saying just heavy rain. By the
radar it looks as though snow is already moving into northwest and
central Louisiana. If so, we shall surely get some of it. Going to be
34F tomorrow morning and then down to 33F by Thursday morning but up
again to 60F by mid afternoon Thursday. Weather reports are, at best, a
leap of faith that they forecast it right.

Our peach tree is budding out as is one of the plums, maybe they will be
okay or bud out again as they often do here. Would like to get a crop of
peaches before the squirrels do.
