I know how much that area has grown in the last 35 yrs. but it's hard for me to think of that traffic out there to have that big of pile up We played basketball with rockford and we were booth class d schools I came through there several years ago going to belding and i couldn't find 44 even. seen a sign that said rockford and relized that i'd miss my turn and came into town to find out where i was and there new high school was setting across the street had a hard time with the size that is what i get for staying away for 30 yrs.

dave they said on the news that it was a total white out that came up really fast
and it only takes one guy to hit the breaks on slippery roads, we have had lots of melting and refreezing. It can make driving crazy-black ice is very dangerous.

One of those squall (sp)things that come and go..but snow to beat the band for a short time

I SAW A ROBIN TODAY!!!!

You saw a robin? Wow, it's early for that guy to be back home.

Hey, we've been working on sending those robins your way for at least a month now! Gald they're finally making it up there!

I ran a bunch off the other day!

Never saw this thread before,
didn't know Dave had a Cool Climate Forum already...

Went there... Hafta ask, if it's colder climate forum you want howcum you not using it. Could always start state specific threads.

JUST A THOUGHT... have felt a little seperated from the Texas Forum don't want to get lost in seperate forums.

No point in throwing snow - never get here. LOL My mtns have a plenty just 30 miles away. ~Blooms

(John, we'd better watch out for flying snowballs!)

I saw and heard "ONE" goose the other day. I was getting out of my car in the parking lot at work when I heard him. I looked up at him and just shook my head. There's a reason for the Silly Goose saying. This one proves it. Why he came back so quickly is beyond me, and I'm assuming he didn't come back alone. We are going to be hit with more cold yet.

We are just getting the cold and wind. Not much snow. I'd gladly welcome the snow. I'm afraid I've lost many plants due to the dryness of the ground and the cold winds.

Saw my first robin on Wed this week. Got 2" snow overnight he's going to have a hard time finding worms :). Springs on its way (I hope).

no robins here yet- I expect to see a polar bear in the back yard- it is filled with so much snow and another 3 inches on the way today. Why don't Alberta Clippers stay in Alberta???

Just another Texan adding support for a forum for you guys. If I ever moved to your region, I probably wouldn't know how to grow a thing! Terre_'s comment about growing seasons really made me stop and think ... good point.

Well heck Blooms, Texas is like a whole nother country. You like to travel don't you? No reason to feel separated from the Texas Forum. You are more than welcome there. You come visit, ya' heah?

I use to trust the first Robin siting to be a true sign of spring, but not anymore.

We've had a flock of Robins on our property since January.

Either they never left, or they are one large flock of lost birds ...............

It is an old myth that robins fly south for the winter! The most recent snowfalls have been melting much faster than january snow. Today a used my own car like a greenhouse. I t was so sunny this afternoon that with winds only light and variable. I carefully placed my newly potted seedlings inside of the car on the dashboard. The temps here fluctuated between 60's and 70's. I placed a sheer fabric over the outside glass to filter the intense sun coming through the windshield. So far I've germinated Limelight 4 o'clock, lettuce leaf basil, nolana paradoxa,and Sonora Gloriosa Daisy. I rooted 5-6 cuttings of Persian Shield.This propagation has been quite an achievement for this time of year.
I have no fancy greenhouse nor warm consistant weather to increase my chances for maximizing my sucesses. But I keep on plugging away. I will
always have my dreams. Yes I do have my own personal visions for a better
more beautiful world. The local vandals will always wreck something in my garden. But the fact that I have my own dream... I know where I am going.
I have a place to go. Right now I have people that I have become attatched to that need me . I am a wanderer but I know where I belong. I could probably live well in any part of the country. Right now I am making lemonade with the lemons thrown my way.

HUGE THANKZ DAVE!

Deann, I was just scrolling through the older messages and saw a pic of your Shepards, they are awesome. They remind me of my two from many years ago, they were called Tanya and Trooper. We used to breed them and sell the pups and of course always keep one, but they were awesome. Now we have two Shih-tzu's. What a difference, eh? So how have you been, haven't seen you online lately?

Fancee.....I am online every day, at least 2 times a day....I am always on first thing in the morning anywhere from 6am to 9am and then again in late afternoon around 6pm....I always have AIM on, just send a message through AIM....during those times....But for the most part during the day I am outside trying to finish up in the garden...

Deann

Hello everyone, where is everybody, no post since June and here it is the end of July. Is everyone outside trimming back bloomed perennials and weeding. With all this heat we have had I am sure behind on mine. Can't seem to catch up or keep up. Happy blooming and weeding to all my Michigan friends and newcomers. :-)

Francee.......that is exactly what I have been doing, however, I just go out in the mornings now early, until 11 am...then just stay in most of the day. At night around 7:30 pm, I weed the pumpkins. We have a pretty huge plot of them going this year, at least a couple of acres of them.....See you around...

Deann
