In Washington the lows have been pretty low, pushing freezing
in the less asphalt-ridden areas. Luckily for the plants the
dips have been of fairly short duration, and daytime highs have
been fairly pleasant.

  Good thing for my brother's peace on the

Spme gardeners drape cheap fabric (burlap for example) over
their plants on the idea that it will help keep in whatever
metabolic warmth the plants generate. Perhaps if your brother
values his domestic situation, he ought to keep in mind such
a plan B.

In some ways government should remain independent of
