forecast some evening for 5F with

i just went out yesterday morning
and took a picture of a flower spike
of a early iris coming up. i don't
think it's going to get through the
snow and ice layer any time soon.
bugger heavy too! shoveling in
stages to give the back a rest.


Wow except for the tornados, it's been really hot here

that original post (to this thread)
was made Mar 23, 2011... the snow
has melted, the flower has bloomed and
is almost gone (see apr 1 pic thread
for links to pics).

since then it has been as high as 82F.
i've been able to get out and do some
weeding (and test out the new garden
pillow (works great)). a few dollars
in cloth and a few minutes of time spent
sewing the cloth on old pillows.
the last few years i've been using an
old seat cushion (that had a board on
the bottom and an inch of foam). i
finally wore that out so needed to
replace it. the pillow works better
as it doesn't have that hard board
so it shapes to the ground and it's
bigger so i can sit cross legged on
the pillow with my feet, legs and
tailbone padded.

the weather yesterday (Apr 15) was
rainy, very windy and chance of snow
last night. doesn't look like we got
it. the rain was needed.

we have tornado weather at times
too, but most of them go around us
(weather shaped by geography). scary!
