We in the PNW are not accustomed to long periods of bone chilling weather let alone snow alerts for two weeks. I, for one, am tired of the occasional sunny day which causes me to run around like a mad woman expecting spring to immediately follow rather than another cold snap. I have spent numerous hours flying through barren nurseries looking for the first flush of new plants-nothing, it's too cold! I am almost considering purchasing a dog coat for my puppy(If you knew me-you would be shocked the thought crossed my mind!), it makes me sad watching her shiver when we take her outside-AUGH!
I know others deal with more days of this than PNWs. I am not a pris, have experienced freezing cold weather in college (30year ago), in Dekalb, IL , Froze in Venice and most every ski trip, but I prefer heated car seats & sunny garden days. I even like gardening in warm spring rain-just not this bone chilling weather! I am tired of looking at gardens on the web, books & catalogs. I am tired of being inside-I want to be in the dirt.
Just had to vent-though it sounds more like a tantrum!

Me too! I live in SW MO, so we've got more cold weather, but I never get used to it, and I've lived here my whole life. I feel like my life's on hold until the spring weather arrives! LOL |

Hang on Andrea, time flies, blink twice and turn around three times and oops it's spring again. Smiles. You have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell |

LOL well today in DeKalb it is currently 44 degrees but by noon it is expected to drop to 17 and then I think the winds are going to kick in, so I have the morning to do some serious running around myself! Keep the faith girl - spring is a comin'! |

I know just how you feel and I live in SC!!! It may not snow buckets or freeze for weeks/months on end. But you still CANNOT do anything outside but move mulch around. Guess I could go out there and use a saw on a few sappling stumps. But that is not fun. I want to plant and seed and feel the warmth from the spring sunshine. It will come again, always does, thank goodness. Linda B |
