Where is that dawgone "OFF" button???
It has stopped snowing (for now) and is melting off but it is so gloomy outside! uugghh! I so need sunshine....I am going to one of those tanning parlors(hopefully) this week and get a sun/vita-D fix.. .as was suggested by a dear farmgirl friend.

Yep, we got some of that white stuff again, woke up to a thin layer of snow, but the sun is peaking out & that white stuff is melting off real fast...& yet my daughter who lives 1.9miles up the road, didn't get any. Go figure.
Rene, you were right about the winds, yesterday was horrible! I hated having to bundle up like an eskimo just to walk out to the mail box...
I so agree with you Teresa,,,a farm girls retreat in Hawaii sounds real good right about now...At first I thought Florida,,,but miss kathie helped change my mind! lol!

Yep, yep it was more than bloody hot. Can't handle those 30+ degree temp swings. Two weekends ago it was cool and breezy then this past weekend it shot up to 98 in Moorpark, 95 in Ventura. Mima - it was even miserable in Camarillo. Now we're dropping back down into the low 70's and 60's and may get rain by this weekend. If that happens Earth Day will be a sloshy mess. My poor little brain can't handle the fluctuations and my garden dosen't know what to do.
Grace - keep me posted about your 2009 trip. I'll start practicing the martinis , but don't know about the fishing (if it's ocean) I get seasick

Not if you live in Wisconsin. Snow forever, 2 nice days then 7 days of snow/rain!!!!! Today the sun comes out. Then goes away, then comes back, then...... At least there is nothing falling from the sky. I just keep putting on my sunscreen, sunglasses and think sunny warm thoughts. My hot flashes make it a reality.

Grace,
Yesterday I actually was feeling a little bit better [THANK YOU!!! for the well wishes, I think it helped!], and decided that since it was so nice out I would finally move my meyer lemon and fig trees outside, but then I'd get right back in bed because the last time I was sick I was up and about the first day I felt better, over did it and ended up back in bed 4 more days.
Anyway, I was fussing with the (huge) pots, then I heard a high-pitched gravely squeak.
It's the resident hummingbird. He was screaming at me for not filling his feeder. I felt so bad, cause I'm out of hummer food and plain sugar water is bad for them.
And in my front flower bed the bleeding hearts and wood anemonies and sweet violets I planted last year have come back with reinforcements! Spring has sprung!
Oh, and upon waking up this morning... it was cloudy and in the 50s... *sigh*

We have high hopes here in the Chicago area that today will be our final "snow showers" day for the spring. They are calling for 60's and sunshine all next week and by God, we are all hoping it stays that way!

Hay Marie,
Good News, Bad news....
today here in the Spokane area we actually had very wonderful weather....yippeeee and then the goober of a weather reporter spoils it all by saying we will have snow again by mid week!!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!
Firemama~Amanda & I just unpacked out flip flops, in fact she went & out did me buy playing in her Garden and getting a little sunburned....I was inside baking scones,,,,& all I got was a warm kitchen...
But I suspect we are finally in the wakes of better weather,,,I saw a butterfly today and I have been finding more creepy crawly bugs too so I guess everything is coming out of hybernation..
My darling of a husband was out in his "ManCave" working on my little trailer, he even snuck away for a drive in our 1954 Chevy Bel Air....yep, I am thinking Spring has finally sprung here in Spokane...
So I guess that means I won't need your 80 degree weather after all Jennifer...lol!
Marie, I hope you feel better asap, it is no fun being sick when the weather is wonderful.

I've got a slightly different problem, yet no less depressing.
I've been battling allergies for at least a week. Ok, I thought, no problem. But this year seemed a bit worse. I convinced myself it's because the forsythia bushes next door have grown bigger since last year.
But then it hit me. WHAM! Like a runaway John Deere. I caught a massive cold, and sometime around Wednesday or Thursday I realized my defeat, and marched off to bed.
Yesterday it was in the 40s and cloudy, I obviously wasn't missing anything. Then, Lo and Behold! Today it was at least 67° and sunny!!! And here I am stuck in bed with a pile of tissues the size of Mt. Everest and not even enough energy or motivation to go make myself a pot of tea.
You can only imagine my misery.
