Freaking Frost - 144/365

I actually would have liked to use another "F" word in the title, but since Reagan will read this some day, I figured I would censor...LMAO! 
 It was FREEZING today! It was only in the 40's most of the day. We had to get our jeans and fleece back out! It was nuts! We ran a few errands this morning. Then, by the afternoon, I had to go into project save the plants! Yes, it's nearly June and we are under a freeze warning! I JUST planted everything two days ago and it was in the 80's! This is crazy! 
 I went around the yard and collected all the pots and moved them into the garage. This was not an easy task, there are nearly 25 pots/hanging baskets! Ay, yi, yi. I was carrying a pretty big one, that weighed a ton, and I freaking dropped it! Dirt went flying and some of the plants jumped out of the pot. It was a mess! My elbow has a minor bruise from trying to catch it and my jeans had some dirt stains. Right about then, is when I used the other "F" word! UGH! 
 After dinner tonight, I went and grabbed up all the old towels and sheets and set out to cover my three begonia borders, hydrangeas, butterfly bush and phlox. It looks awesome out there! Between the sheets all over the yard and the paint cans, shoes, garden tools, and various other items to hold the sheets/towels down! It looks like the Clampets live here....LOL! Oh, and the best part will be collecting all the wet sheets and accessories in the morning. LOVELY! 
I hope everything survives...fingers crossed! 
The photo of the day is the pot I dropped....
 Can you find the all the pots...
The rest, safe inside....
