Spring is here!

[Cheryl]

The weather was beautiful here today!   The ground is still moist from recent rain, bulbs are up, and my flower beds were calling out to me.  I weeded and mulched 2 of them.  It felt absolutely wonderful to be outside and have the energy to work for a couple of hours.

I needed to go on record here while I'm still on my high;  tomorrow I may only be able to moan. 

Happy Spring, everyone!

It was a beautiful day here in Florida, too!  I had a nice walk on my lunch hour in the sun and the temps were perfect.  I was kind of aching all over afterwards, but it was nice while it lasted.

It was a lovely morning in west Yorkshire. The moors were pretty spectacular. Tonight, the monsoons have arrived!

silly question here - what are moors?

[lynnmarie219]

Ohiocat,

Not a silly at all as I have often wondered exactly the same thing...but they must be beautiful as everyone talks so highly of the sight of them!

It was a beautiful spring day here in south Louisiana with just a touch of coolness in the air.  But as always stick around and the scenery will change.  By tomorrow it will be cold again and back into the thirties.  By Tuesday or Wednesday back up again.  Crazy weather as usual around here.

I loved being out there yesterday, it was almost heaven.  Same here Ohiocat, the moors must be beautiful, and I'd love to see them too!

It's almost official...spring starts at 5:32 PM GMT, so (because of DST) it starts in my area at 2:32 PM and it's already a beautiful day, temps climbing for just above 0^oC when I got up, to nearly 7^oC now.

The moors - sorry, I just took for granted people would know what I meant. How to explain? Where I live is very green and hilly. The moors are rugged open green places where, in the right season, they are covered in heathers. In the winter, they are very bleak, and open.  In the summer they are full of walkers, children flying kites and families enjoying the open spaces. I expect you have similar places, just that they have different names. If you google Ilkley Moors or the cow and calf rocks, I'm sure you will see what I mean.

Something is terribly wrong with this picture!!     Today is the official start of spring.  However, our current temperature is 35 degrees, wind gusts 20 - 25 mph, with a rain/snow mix!!     Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

There were a couple days this past week that were really nice - mid 60's.  Today . . . another story!!   

Although, it really doesn't surprise me . . . . 18 yrs. ago tomorrow, the same kind of weather showed up on my wedding day!!    

Enjoy the sunshine - if you are lucky enough to have some today!!   

Happy Spring everyone!!

Well here in Eastern Iowa it snowed overnight so I woke up to see 2 inches of snow on the ground (didn't stick to the driveways or roads). BUT I did see a robin today who was probably thinking he should have delayed his travel plans.

Today is SUPPOSE to be the 2nd day of Spring . . . I'm still waiting for it to show up!!!    It's been cold (in the 30's), wet and cloudy today. 

Keeping my fingers crossed that warmer, sunshine days are in the real near future.    If it arrives this week, that would be great!!

Have a good week everyone . . . . .

Sorry to say Bucky, but I was in shorts today...be nice - okay now, you can quit throwing things at me!    A couple of months ago, a ton of snow, today, lots of sunshine and heat (low seventy's).

I hope that it heats up soon for you lady, you sure need a break today!

Take care of yourself -

WOOHOO . . . . better late than never . . on the 3rd day of Spring (sounds like it should be a song . . LOL), the sun showed up and the temperatures are climbing.  Yay!!   

Give me a couple months and then I'll be complaining it's too hot!!

Ever stood and smelled the wonderful fragrance of your daffodils in rain and snow? Well, I did today in TN.   As they bowed their little heads they seemed to be saying, take me in with you.      

Hubby has already made early garden. Taters in the ground, w/onions, broccoli, cauliflower and cabbage. Oh, and forgot the lettuce bed with radishes.  Ever eaten Rape greens?  Don't laugh...its a delicious green full of nutrients.

Well, off to watch our #1 rated Lady Vols play in the NCAA basketball tournament.  GO LADY VOLS!!!
