This photograph says it all. No it's not in black and white. This is what my garden actually looks like at the moment.
Gee Eileen, our back yards look the same. Eight inches of fresh new snow now blankets the area and it continues to fall as I type.......wait a minute.......Click.....connect.....download...... ( photo / image / picture from Jerry Sullivan's Garden ) So much for spring cleaning the garden. :-( Jerry
I am jealous, I really am. Plants might be growing in my garden already but that just means we are getting closer and closer to the end of my gardening days when 95-110 degree days of summer arrive and that is depressing to me. You all know that I would trade weather conditions with either one of you in a heartbeat
Eileen and Jerry, I'm thinking about emigrating to the south of Spain. Wanna come too? I guess I shan't complain about the frost and cold, but I'd love to have some snow on top of the frozen ground. Frost's no fun without the snow, right?
I'll collect Jerry on route to the airport Droopy and we'll see you in Spain for some frost and snow free weather. Bring the suntan lotion and your bikini. OH IF ONLY!!
You all make me soooo happy I live in such a temperate place. So what if a heat wave is 70 F. We hover between 40 and 50 degrees almost year around. That white stuff is for mountain tops Brrrrrrrr
Eileen my yard looks the same. I think we got 6 or more inches of snow on Monday. Then on Tuesday we had temps in the teens and 20-35 mile an hour winds. :-x I am so ready for spring or a spring vacation. In Spain during March they have the Jerez Flamenco Festival all month. I would love to see the dancers. I just checked on what it would cost for us to fly to Madrid Spain. I guess we will have to pass as on going there this year as it was over 1,000.00 per person. Yesterday I had to blow out the driveway twice. I was down in the basement working and saw that it was going on 4:00pm. So I came upstairs and checked the driveway in the back as that is where is drifts shut. It looked like it had quite a bit of snow that need to be removed. I had heard the snow plow go threw earlier in the afternoon so I thought I better look out and see how much snow was blocking the driveway. I could not believe my eyes. The snow was at least 4 1/2 ft. high and 2 1/2 ft. deep. So out I went with my trusty snow blower and attacked that snow bank. At least I could take some of frustration out on it. Today is the first day of Spring! What a horrible joke. Our temps are only around 20 degrees again with a wind chill factor that makes it feel like 12 degres. On this next Monday we are suppose to get more ####. Calgon take me away!
I checked the Gibraltar temps. Between 15°-17°C/59-63°F during the day, down to 7°C/45°F at night. Maybe we'd be better off at the Canary Islands.
