    Alright, all those who write about spring weather and I shouldn't have to name names-Dooley and Gardengirl for a few. :D Get busy and box that 'spring like weather' up and send it to Michigan.
    We have just been dumped atleast another 10 inches of snow just over today. Did someone forget to tell mother nature that WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! This isn't funny any more. I can't plant seeds, nor a garden in the snow. We need spring/summer weather. Who has it to send? Come on-lets not be stingy, share some of your spring weather with us.
    all Thank yous
    in advance

    Petunia I've got some stinking hot summer weather I can spare, if you wouldn't mind sharing an icy cold wind or a little bit of cloud cover perhaps?

    Do you want the rain and cold wind we have today, too? I'll admit it isn't snow but it sure feels cold outside in it. dooley

    I know exactly how you feel Petunia! We got dumped on again too and the winds have been wicked. I have definitely got a bad case of the February "blahs"!

    Dooley, that rain needs to come here, we are still high and dry.

    I have so much spring weather I could send everyone buckets of it, just wish I could figure out how to get it there.

    I could mail you some but you would have to open the envelope carefully so it wouldn't all empty out in one small space. Maybe you could run with it like you do with a kite. dooley

    I'll take a load of the sunshine as well, Ophelia...while your shipping it abroad.
    I would gladly swap some coldness and rain for it.

    I'd take some of your winter, petunia, since ours has been dismally dry and snowless. Unfortunately I have no heat to send you, but I could send some rain to Toni, who could then send some heat your way. I'd also send chilly gusts to Ophelia, and she could pass my part of the stinking hot summer weather your way.

    Hey, is this what they call "Global Warming"? :D

    I'd take a bit of that warm sun, rain and even the winds if it would get rid of this snow. So far this morning its sunny but the cold winds blowing.
    We had our driveway plowed out last nite, and one of the snow plowed hills has now got to be taller then me. I'm going to take a picture this morning and post it later.

    Unbelievable, Petunia! We had occasional snowfalls in NY when I was there. Today I could send you 50 degrees and cloudy with a brisk wind.
    Just bought a Weeping Cherry Tree.

    Your piles take me back to the mid -80's, when we had proper winter. We shoveled for hours every day, and used the heaps for slides, snow caves and what-not. :D I was just as happy playing in the snow as the children, even after I had spent a lot of time shoveling it.
