We had a nice soft rain most of last night and on and off heavy showers here today. Also had one clap of thunder ! So far the rain gauge shows 1.05 inches. How is everyone else doing ??

That's great Linda, hope you get a few more inches.

I heard we got an inch yesterday. The bog park was called Dog Park Lake I loved it. Today is still cloudy but the standing water is gone.

Becky, it's good to hear that you got rain too!

My rain gauge shows 1.82" - pretty amazing winter we've had. I kept thanking the Canadians I was working with for bringing the rains with them - they just rolled their eyes....

Got tons of work done yesterday in the on-again-off-again rain/sun/dark/dry - as long as you have an old sweater with a zipper in it, you're good! Transplanted a few things, did a lot of digging - I have some large rocks I purchased for the landscape that I need to get put down deeper. The soil is so much easier to work when wet.

That is great Sheryl ! I was busy planting pots of pansies for the front yard to replace all the frozen Canna's, plumbago and lantana. It is just 49 here now and pretty windy. It was cold working out there but sure beats July !

Ain't that the truth, lol! Still, pretty chilly.

I walk into a .99cent store today and walk out with 4 plants. I walk into Lowe's for light bulbs and walk out with 3 more.... a plant freak and an el-cheap-o can be a dangerous combination.

But isn't it fun ?

LOL, it is - it kind of worries me sometimes, though - I have so little discretion when it comes to plants and animals ... maybe a little more now days with plants, but an addiction (passion?) is an addiction (passion), I guess. I guess once I start hiding the bills from Teddy we can call it a problem!

It is hard to say no to a plant.

I love animals and plants but I can't have a garden right now since I chose to go to school full time and live in an aprtment. And no pets becasue I am upstairs . . . and again, in an apartment. But I'll tell ya, the very minute I can buy a home after I graduate, the rescue dog gets to find a new forever home with me and my garden will fill up quickly.

I'll start some cuttings now!

Looks like Jan rains have turned into Feb rains, at least here in Feenix. Brrrr- hail, too!

Sheryl, we had a bunch of snow this morning. :thumbsup it was like a blizzard for close to an hour and did stick for some time but is melting now. The total of the rain and snow in my gauge was.35.

Excellent! Bet it was pretty.

It was gorgeous, and came down with very heavy big , flakes. The weather guy just said we may get more by 7:00 tonight. It did wreck the big Golf Tournament here and tomorrow is the big Rodeo Parade so the Chamber of Commerce can not be to happy but a lot of us are really enjoying the change.

what a crazy weather week for Phoenix. Sunny and nice on Tuesday when I shared this photo with EVB LINE (Channel 12 news early show at 4pm)
