It's over 60 degrees F. I can see crocuses and daffodils from the
window. Two black and white cats are sitting in the sunshine, the
gentle breezes making their little whiskers quiver. ;) Sunday we
begin Daylight Savings Time. We;ve made it through another winter,
folks (in the Northern Hemisphere, anyway). ;)

Yes, I finally was able to go out without my winter boots, hat, and gloves.
The ground was clear though dusty. The snowbank has shrinked considerably.
I can even turn off the heater and open a window.

Sheesh, and it's still cold, gray and rainy here in Seattle - er, I
mean Northern California. :)

Here it means start of Twister Season. We're under a watch tonight.

I hope they come nowhere near your new house.

It's beautiful here. I've been invited to go skiing this weekend, but
I think I'd rather spruce up my bike and check out the trails. It's
been a long time since I've ridden my bike.

My favorite season. We are having temps near 60, sometimes very windy,
tho. I have one crocus to bloom; but a lot of bulbs are up and some
have buds. But I hear we are having another snow storm in a week. Let
my blossoms hold off till after that.

Well, it hasn't reached this part of the Northern Hemisphere yet. It's a
little above freezing and the snow is still on the ground. At least it's
been rainingt for a few days, so that has melted some of the snow. But I
wouldn't be surprised if we got some more snow before April is over. I
am so sick and tired of the white stuff!

At least old man winter is taking baby steps away.
I am not going to put away my winter boots yet. As you said, we had snow
one year in April. We will have rain most of next week, which should wash
away all the crude left behind with the spring thaw. Can't wait for
the current crop of maple syrup. The farmers should have them ready for the
market soon.

We had a wonderful day, too; and (dare I say it)...I think our winter
is over now. It was 80 degrees today and not too windy. I got to go to
the Medieval Fair today, and it was such a perfect day for it that it
was almost magical.
Our crocuses are finished now; the lilacs are in full bloom as are the
pear trees, cherry trees and tulips.
I'm going to move the seedlings out of the greenhouse tomorrow and let
them start hardening off. This is my favorite time of year.
