Hurray! Ginny! The weather sounds pretty good, hope you had a great day in the garden.

Nice Zoia, looking forward to seeing images of Dragonfish!

Late start with a low of 20 this morning. By 10:30 it had warmed to 45 so I went out and tinkered cleaning up a couple areas related to the fence move. Not worth doing anything with the dl's, when it's that cold new growing fans snap right off. At least the sun felt warm and the wind wasn't blowing. High made it to 52. Should be sunny tomorrow and hopefully a little warmer!

70/77F cloudy with chance of showers increasing at noon and chance of thunderstorms tonight...so far ⛈️ are staying North.

I thought these were done after 13 in one day and a few days with nothing...then yesterday 5 more. With only 1-2 blooms each, the population is definitely increasing.

Feels and looks like London, England today - foggy, drizzly, chilly. Thermometer says it is 53 degrees but it doesn't feel like it, and that is today's high. Low tonight 48. Warmer this weekend and is supposed to be in the high 70s by Monday.

That is not my kind of weather, Donna. Sad

Windy but sunny today. Think it was around 78 at noon.

Linda, I can understand that! I don't really mind it, except that working outside, especially if it's wet, is not so pleasant.

Sunny and in mid 60s. Tomorrow is supposed to be only in the 50s and then 80s on Sunday. Weather whiplash.

Took advantage of nice weather to do my mowing which is a short job. Not much grass and to be honest my "lawn" is a little grass and a lot of wild violets.

Everything looks so lush and green there, Jill. I miss that. The red makes such a striking contrast as well! Smiling

Enjoying the images! The past two freezing cold mornings took out my yellow daff's Sad I think the whites will be ok, there's still buds so maybe Crossing Fingers!

I agree Donna, it's awful working outside in those conditions. Group hug

Cold again this morning, 24, but with blue sky sunshine it warmed up fairly quickly. High made it to 60 and is falling back now but we are not suppose to be that cold tomorrow morning. Crazy run around morning so didn't get much done outside. Been glued to the incubator this afternoon watching chicks hatch and setting up their pen for the next 4 - 5 weeks in the spare bedroom.

Took this image with 2, there's 3 now and 3 more eggs with pips. I thought one egg looked wonky when I candled them Wed. night while taking out the turner and I think I was right. There's no sign anyone is home in that one. Sighing!

I have never seen anything like that before, Char. How fun that must be to watch. ( Sad about the daffodils,) Sad

Very sunny today, clear, cool 55/35. Not as cold as yesterday, I'm going to leave the new petunias and geraniums outside tonight, they should be ok. No rain predicted until Tuesday, I might have to water in Dragonfish and my Something For Everyone proliferation that I nurtured indoors and is still potted but hardening off outside.

That is an amazing amount of rain your DD2 received Dave. We would have serious flooding here if we got all that in one storm. Our wind will continue again today.

Sunny and windy this morning. Currently 59, predicted high of 69, low tonight 51. Pollen has begun to fall in earnest, light yellow coating on the van's windshield.

Beautiful sunny day, which I will mostly spend in a theater. 65/46, we are finally out of the overnight freeze danger zone. Everything seems to have come through just fine, thank goodness. No rain until Tuesday night, but then we get back into a rainy pattern. I might bring out my rain gauge, now that it's probably past freezing.
