After reading this, I went out and found our crocus today. We always have only one.

But at least it's a dependable one!

Well its good to see someone is enjoying good weather somewhere. The snow has finely melted here in NE Ohio but now we are having a snow storm as I write this comment. WE can always expect to have snow clear into April because lake Erie's water is warm and the air is cold (lake effect). I only wish I had bought property down south somewhere.

When we were up in Ohio last week visiting Mark's folks, I could tell that their winter was a bit too much for me. I do love winter, but I also love February days with bare soil and flowers poking up! Hang in there --- it'll come to you too!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally think this has been a really ABNORMAL April! April is usually a warm, breezy month with rain and sun-shiny days...this April has been miserable and dreary and COLD and not a lot of rainfall.

This is honestly the first time EVER that I've started to consider that maybe all of that global warming stuff wasn't just scare-tactic media to sell more blue recycle bags...I'm thinking its real and those nasty climate changes are hitting NE Ohio right now - this year!!!

I think we're getting all of your rain. We often have a flood or two in the spring, but in the last two months, floods have been a weekly occurrence! On the other hand, we have been enjoying stunning temperatures and sunshine over the last few weeks, so I can't complain.
