I think we all feel we have too much snow. We'd all be happier to see green grass without further snow.

I am not a person that enjoys winter so I always look forward too spring. This year looking extra forward to it as I Have planted so many spring bulbs here that it should look simply marvelous when they start blooming. From Crocus and early daffs to tulips early till late.

Oh yes, melt this snow and no more snow this season would be best. Not gonna happen as they are already calling for snow on Sunday and then more for next week after that. This is just crazy.

@Newyorkrita .....

I am wondering if my bulbs will come up because we haven't had enough rain. Yes, I want to see them, but, oh, I am really enjoying this rainy day.

Smiles,

I'd rather weed than dust ... the weeds stay gone longer.

I was actually able to listen to a Pod Cast for the first time this week ... thanks to the suggestion to use ear phones ... and I chose to listen the one where Dave interviewed one of the owners of Brent and Becky's Bulbs and he mentioned something about spring rains. That's what has gotten me to wonder because I've watered the roses, but I never thought to water the areas where the bulbs are planted.

I agree but for different reasons ... Smiling

Going out and watering while wearing snow boots was not fun ! I never want to do that again. It has been a totally miserable experience. This drought has been driving me bonkers !

I am now getting my first dose of cabin fever. It has been raining for days. We truly need the rain, but I am kind of grounded and stuck inside.

I'll have to go out in the rain and haul some wood over to the patio in a little bit, but that's normal. I am not complaining. My fir trees are finally looking good and instead of individual plants being deep watered, whole beds are truly getting a good soaking.

Smiles,
Lyn

So glad you got the much needed rain. It would be nice to have Camelot rain...

"...The rain may never fall till after sundown.
By eight, the morning fog must disappear..."

and for some of us...

"...There's a legal limit to the snow here, in Camelot"
