    Don't even mention it or I'll pelt you all with snowballs! Hard ones, not the fluffy, loose ones I usually make.

    Oi :eek:

    Well look on the bright side Droopy,,at least its not July!! (have had that happen) :rolleyes:

    But where we both live it comes with the territory. We had hail yesterday that flattened alot of the plants that where comming up. Oh well, its Norway!! But i sure do hope your blooms and plants pull thru and has caused no major damage to your garden.

    Don't worry Droopy,,the sun has got to come out soon!

    Alarming display! Blimey, what's going on up there?
    Those lovely blooms straining under all that snow... I know it may be normal there, but GOSH!

    .....but then I saw the hammock and swing set....and my mood melted immedioately, for that conjured up all sorts of nice fantasies of how it will be.
    Gad! A hammock in the shade! I could get used to that. :)

    The sun's shining, we've got some wind and the snow's melting, but what good does that do when the forecast says more of the same? At least one of the forecasts say that. The two others claim we'll have milder weather so I think I'll believe them this time. :D

    Haha, Sjoerd, I thought you might like our hammock. :D We don't use it often, since we rarely have hot enough weather to want to spend time in the shade, but the girls use it for playing. I have had an afternoon nap or two in it. I like hammocks.

    So sorry about your weather, I hope your blooms will not be damaged by the weight of the snow. Our weather has been every changing but not as dramatic as yours. Hopefully the sun will come out :stew2: and melt it all away.

    Thanks for the sympathy, Stewbies. :stew2: We'll get through this, we always do, but that doesn't mean we have to like it. :D

    SPRING....okay take your best shot. I could use a little cool weather later this week ;)

    It won't be long until you have all sorts of lovely blooms and warmer weather, then the long winter will be a distant, unpleasant memory.

    I am SO SORRY to see that you have gotten yet more snow Droopy! We had some flurries on the weekend, but none of it stayed on the ground. Sending warm thoughts to you to melt that nasty stuff away :)

    Oh dear... I was away on the weekend and now I see this... (I kind of wanted to cry for you Droopy...) Ah well, there is a wealth of beautiful blooming going on under that snow. PROMISE! In the meantime, I think this would be a good time for a vacation if I lived there.
