A glorious day here. By the end of today the snow will be gone and I will be doing yard cleaning tomorrow. :)
Sidney, Nothing that green around here, but things are popping up.
We had showers this morning, very nice now though.
Temps in the 60s partly cloudy, breezy.
Today is the 9th anniversary of this Blizzard. 27 inches of snow and ice.
(Slight correction on the photo caption, the tree was only about 15 feet tall at the time.) It survived.

It's a gorgeous, gorgeous day here. We're about to head outside to play. There is a 20% chance of rain today and tomorrow, but so far it doesn't look likely to fall here.

Another beautiful day in Pa. Promised thunderstorms never materialized. The birds are taking dust baths in the soil I prepared on Wednesday for a new flower bed.
Perhaps April will bring some showers.
We got some rain overnight but it was done by the time I got up. It was a nice day to go to the Los Angeles Arboretum.
It's a beauty up here also.
High temp around 60 F,low was 42. Bright and sunny.
A bit too windy to snap pics of flowers, they are dancing around wildly.
Here is a single Chinodoxa I snapped yesterday. It's the size of a nickle.
I have a lot of these but this lonely little guy caught my eye.
Andy P
Andy, what a nice flower. I bet they are real pretty in a drift. Very nice outside. The AC is on, got to 87º today.
Just loving the spring flowers.
Sidney
MORE April showers today. . . .the last week of March brought just shy of 5 inches within 7 days here and the storm door is open. We can sure use the rain LOL, but spread out over a longer period of time would be nice. I'm really enjoying the pics of spring flowers Andy, since it's difficult to get out and see any in all this rain. I think they'll be really gorgeous when the sun finally comes out. Lord knows they've gotten their share of nitrogen this Spring.
Going to try to see what I can do in the garden today, which will probably consist of bringing in the garden girl and redressing her for the spring season, as it's dark and drizzly out there AGAIN! Found some good spring gardening clothes at the thrift store yesterday, but still have to find a straw hat for her. 8-) Janet
Janet we'll need a picture of her.
Sidney
Not everyone had a beautiful weekend. :(

Hey Sugarweed, that photo looks good to me. Love the garden art.
Andy, I can't believe the snow!
Darius, tornados are terrible! We had a green sky Sunday, some nasty looking clouds and a little hail. It passed and we just had rain. I heard the wind howling sometime in the night, and it hasn't stopped yet.
This mornings low was 33 F High 61 currently 45. Light winds.
It started out sunny but clouded up by mid-afternoon.
Lots of rain is expected tonight and tomorrow. (Your storm, Billy)
Snapped this Daff today.
Andy P
Its spring here and I just cant stop crying. The clean water came to late for our 3 1/2 year old dog Stacy.
She has been hiding that she was ill, but this weekend all her internal organs failed and yesterday we had to put her to sleep. I just hope and pray that Taysons will stay okey.
Janett
Good morning, everyone! There is a 10% chance of rain this afternoon, with a high of 84°. If we don't get the rain I'm going to need to water the garden tomorrow.

Ohh... ((((((((((((((((((Janett))))))))))))))))))))))) I'm so sorry. :-(
Janett, I'm so sorry for the loss of your friend.
((hugs))
Pati
Janett - to lose a beloved pet is so tragic. We have been watching our 12 year old poodle becoming senile. She was always so bright and active. now she is a little old lady.
Rain last night - finally. Gusty winds today and much colder. Only in the forties but everything is wet! Scheduled for rain and snow tonight.
Claire
Janett, I am just in tears over the loss of Taysons.
Claire, Is that called an "Indian Winter"?

Am getting my yard cleaned up today.
Sidney
Jannet. . .so very sorry about Stacy. . .how heartbreaking to lose one of your family. I think you're wise to keep an eye on Tayson, just to make sure it's not something contagious. Do you think it was the water problem that caused it? 3 1/2 is very young to have internal organs fail in an apparently otherwise healthy dog.
The rain keeps pouring down, all day yesterday and last night most of the night. More of the same today in the forecast. . .couldn't even get the garden girl yesterday. I ended up repotting 7 flats of annuals under the potting shed roof, the only dry place outside. Perhaps she'll get her new clothes today. . .will post pics later when she's done Sidney.
8-) Janet
Thank you guys
It was absolutly the water. No doubt in my mind. She had no bacteria. bloodwork proved that and she had no fever.
The only thing that can make ALL and every organ to shut down like this is by poisoning of some kind.
Livercount was 20 times higher than the toplevel of bad and the kidney count was 15 times higher. her blood was so toxidic that she only had hours left to live when we took the decition on letting her pass..
I dont use poison of ANY kind in the garden nor in my house, not even for rats or slugs nor does my neighbour. Neighter of the dogs have been off the property or out of our site for one second this winter.
The 4 cats that have lived here this winter that belongs to the animal shelter is already sceduled for kidney and liver test and if they also are affected by the water they will put them down. they wont let anybody adopt them to have to go thru what we have with Tracy. The only thing i can do for Tayson at this moment is to continue to have him on a liver and kidney kind diet and PRAY. No medicin in the world can fix it and at the moment I just cant face to do any test and maybe get bad testresults on Tayson, I just cant
Janett
We're all there with you Janett, just keep thinking positive.
Well I finally got out and rescued the poor wet garden girl. She's soaking wet and moldy from all this rain. But hopefully I can get her spiffed up a bit for spring now that she's in out of the rain. 8-) Janet
Sugar - we had beautiful cold and windy weather today - guess it might be "Indian Spring" LOL My daylily seedlings want to be planted. I have 2 flats of 72 cells of coleus that are growing like mad and tomato plants sprouting all over the house - go figure.
Janette, that is so very sad. I'm not up on the reason you have poisoned water, but I'm so sorry it affected your pet. (((((love)))))
Sorry to hear about you dog Janette.
Janet I love your garden girl (and esp her hat :)
Joggers in shirt sleeves and shorts run along the ice clogged Moose Jaw River in the Wakamow Valley as temperatures reached 66.2°F or 19°C today.
We have spring break-up! Ü
Wow what a neat picture Pam.
It's nice quiet weather wise. We too have a fire watch because we have had no rain in weeks.

Thanks Sidney.......beauty tends to be pretty subtle here but at times it takes your breath away.
Lilypon, those ice patterns are just begging for someone to take a bunch of pictures. the optimism of the folks in shorts is smile worthy.
We have 63F and 24 mph winds that are gusting above that. It's grey now but earlier the clouds were wayyy over on the mtns and the sun was above us and yet the wind was bringing the occasional raindrop to my windshield.
It [the wind] appears to be coming from Arizona and is carrying some pollen or other that I'm allergic to. oh great, now I can't breathe thru my dnose. ~Blooms
Janett, my sympathies. My last dog (Lucy) died at only 6, very sad.
Lilypon, I remember a few years ago at the park while walking my Lucy in Spring. I heard this strange tinkle sound, I had to stop and listen more closely. It was the 'rotten' ice pieces clattering against each other, unique sound. I wish I had my camera then.
We had an inch of snow today. Low was 29°, High 40° currently 35° F. Cloudy with light north wind.
Andy P
We had an inch of snow also - high 42 degrees. It's gone. Very gusty winds all day. No gardening today - went greenhouse hopping. LOL
Allergies, that's too bad Blooms
We had short sleeve weather finally. I worked out all afternoon. I'm waiting to see if I got a farmers tan!
But we got a shower, a whole point oh four hundredths [.04"] of an inch on the official tally local station. Hardly worth mentioning if ya live in the rainy parts, but it gets a nod of thanks from the desert. The only place the soil is damp is where it runs off the roof [that new roof].
We had gotten up to 72, dropped to 48 when the rain got here. Now the wind is outta the north west and chilly but the temps are back up to 56* for the evening.
Still can't breathe but the pills will work sooner or later. ~Blooms
Sorry about your loss, Janett.
We got 1.8 inches of rain yesterday and last night. It has been very windy today and cold for this time of year. I doubt the temperature got out of the 50s.

We have thunder in the south, only about 2 miles out if you count the seconds. It's my favorite thunder, low and long rumbly!
Sugarweed--you MUST tell me when you start those delphiniums...I know you are overwintering them but when did you set the seedlings out?
Debbie
Debbie I do have some delphiniums, but they aren't in that picture. I purchased them getting ready to bloom. Very nice weather here. Playing outside is the best.
Here are some yellow impatients. The first I've ever seen.
Sidney
What a lovely treat for the eyes Sidney......1 more month and the greenhouses will be opening here. Ü
Hope your breathing better now Blooms. Canadians celebrate the warmth so we can cool off.... ice cream is a hot selling item lately (we also tend to have very short memories ;).
Andy I've only had the pleasure once of being near it when it started fracturing.....you're right it's a noise you'll never forget. :)
66.2°F or 19°C again today.......the Canada Geese are appearing in greater numbers now (the only plants pics I'd have to post are a couple of barely showing Tulip shoots;)

Pam how's your recovery coming?
Bloom's,
Sinuses are the most irritating. Make your head feel terrible. Here in the south we have a lot and I use Nasalcrom. It keeps the allergens from getting to my sinuses.
I can really tell the difference.
Coolish out this AM. No AC on. Gonna get to 80 today.
