Beautiful!

[Janet]

I just have to write and say that yesterday and today have been sooooo beautiful out. In the 60's, sun shining brightly and leaves popping out everywhere. I love spring.

The weather will be turning cold again, but then after the weekend back to warm. I'm really trying to 'stop and smell the roses'. I get so wrapped up in what has to be done, when to make time to do it and all the other responibilities of daily life, that I don't hardly get to enjoy each day.

So yesterday and today....I took a moment to walk around the yard...be thankful for my home and family and the beauty surrounding me. Just wanted to share.

I think you deserve a reward for starting so many new posts today

We had such beautiful weather last week and through the weekend and even the beginning of this week! As of yesterday, we only had a few handfuls of snow left in the yard. Well, good thing the forecast is saying snow tonight and for the next few days because we almost ran out of snow there for a minute I think maybe I jinxed it by taking our patio furniture out of storage already! Oh well, that's what we get I guess for living where we live! It didn't snow until November last year, so our 6 months of snow isn't quite up yet! Here's to hoping it warms up for May

I hear more and more birds as the days go by. Definite sign of spring!!!

[Janet]

Isn't it wonderful?

we have had some absolutely gorgeous days! Of course, we are in a SERIOUS drought, without much prospect of rain till the end of the summer. This is not good!

But for right now, we are having some beautiful weather! I'm so glad those of you up north are coming out of the deep freeze and Lindsay, I hope that your snow is light and melts quickly!

[Lindsey]

Well, I hope it's not too much snow, and it doesn't melt TOO quickly! Here's what we're going through right now:

Flooding like crazy! Two people have died in Manitoba from the flood waters. One of them tried to drive down a road through the water and the current swept his truck away Lots of people on acreages around here have abandoned their houses, or are doing what they can to build berms and sandbagging to prevent flooding if it hasn't happened already. So many roads are washed out!

Oh yeah, if you look through the pictures, you'll see some channels that were just built at Fishing Lake. I worked on designing that project

Oops I guess it doesn't specify Fishing Lake on the photo lol... it's the one showing the channels between Hazel, Whitesand, Dog, and Newburn lakes. This is the first photo I've seen of them being constructed!

We've had some really warm days.....up in the 80's!!! We've even had the airconditioner on for awhile!!! I find that as I get older the more intolerant I am of temperature changes!!! I think that we're suppose to cool off for a day or two now that the rain has gone through. I would like to have some pleasant weather......not too hot and not too cold!!!! I don't ask for much!!!!!

[Janet]

I don't think you're asking for much either Diana. That is exactly the weather I'm wanting...not too hot and not too cold. Right now it's 52 degrees but feels much colder because the wind is blowing so hard....35-40 miles per hour gusts. We're even suppose to have a chance of snow showers on Saturday night. Come on spring....please come and stay awhile before summer gets here.

[Lindsey]

It's 1 degree C, about 33 degrees F, snowing and blowing. We woke up to a white lawn and huge flakes this morning. The patio furniture had a couple of inches of snow piled up on it. So far, our basement has not leaked, but There have been many flooding basements in our town. I hope ours holds up for a few more weeks.

[DianaB]

Yesterday was cold and the heater was turned back on. I also brought some of the plants back in that I had put out on the porch. Hopefully this will be our last cold spell. I'm so ready for some nice spring weather!!! However, I think, we have rain coming all next week.

[Janet]

Same here Diana....rain...of course April showers bring May flowers...lol. Hope they don't drown!

[DianaB]

That would be sad......drowning flowers.

It's a beautiful day here today too. NO WIND. I'm so sick of wind. It's supposed to be terrible tomorrow. That's why I put some fertilizer on my yard today because the wind is not blowing. Otherwise I would be fertilizing my neighbors yard - DOWN THE STREET!

We need rain so badly though. I know you all are getting it up there, but we are in a severe drought here. Pretty terrible.
