Went out to start the sprinkler on the lawn, I'll be damned, frost on some of the grass and ice on the hose. Decided to check this morning's actual "official" temp, as that 39F is from my sending unit 5' up a tree in the shade and therefor protected from frost somewhat.

In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
