We finally got a nice day, lots of sun and a balmy 50 degrees. I looked at our forcast and starting tomorrow the temp drops again and it's supposed to snow. That's the forecast for the next 5 days. I could scream but it won't do any good. I worked on my fish pond and got the planters on my porch rail ready just incase we actually do get a summer this year. You know when you look at a project and you get it all figgured out in your head and think " this will be easy" ? Should know better by now. Several trips to the nursery to get connectors for setting up a soaker hose and they're still the wrong kind or size. Hook it all up, turn on the water and watch it spray out from the fitting. Same with the pond. Clean it, clean the pumps. Set up the little fish that spits and stand back to watch it for a few seconds before it stops completely and the pump is deader than a doornail. Now I remember why summers are so busy. Projects always take much longer than expected. Do I sound grumpy? Funny, I was fine till I checked the weather forecast ! Alanna

Long winter

Is it just me or is this a long cold winter for almost everyone? I live in Idaho but I'm reading about the cold and snow from several states. My daughter lives near London and she sent me pictures last week of snow at thier place. It's not unusual for where I live but it seems to be all over. I can't wait till summer comes! Alanna

Check out the latest pictures in my album. My Snow Roses have finally bloomed. I've been waiting since Dec. for them to flower. They always flower in winter but I never know when. They are beautiful this year.
Funny how they decided to come on April Fools day. :)
