    Good morning all. This is our 10th day of overcast and rain. I know the plants have loved the slow soaking rain but lately I have been hearing some rumbling outside and it appears to be them begging for some sunshine.
    I keep wandering thru the garden telling them maybe in a couple of days my pretties. but I don't think they believe me. It could get ugly out there, I should probably stay inside until the sun does come back.

    Good morning everyone,

    Its cold here this morning, and we had frost again overnight, but its not supposed to rain today, so thats good!!

    I have some errands to run and grocery shopping to do

    Got all the pepper plants pulled, added some manure to the soil and some bonemeal, and turned over the soil.

    Good morning all. The sun came out with a vengeance yesterday, temp zoomed up to 85. Another cool front moved thru over night, the clouds have taken over again and the temp should be back down to only the mid-70s today. But we should have mostly sun starting tomorrow thru the weekend.

    I sorted thru our cool weather clothes over the weekend, now if only I will get a chance to wear them
    :rolleyes:

    Good morning everyone,

    Its only a little after 6am here, but its cold and we had more frost again.

    If its not raining later, i need to plant some bulbs and cut back my perennials,
    Did that here the other day Toni, sorted the clothes and pulled out the winter stuff and packed away the summer.

    The seasonal clothing switch has to be my least favorite chore. More chilly rain today. Can't believe I've had to turn on the heat so early in October.

    Good Saturday morning all. Currently -3°C and overcast. We have had a very cold week, and almost everything in the garden has been finished off. I only have a few cabbage, Kale and Leeks left in the garden. I guess it's time to start fall yard clean up.
    I wish I had your problem Toni...I sure could use a few days of 85° weather! It has been so cold here and the wood stove has been burning non stop.
    Have a great day all.

    Good morning, it's cold here this morning. I guess I should take a jacket when I go to the farmer's market this morning. It's supposed to be sunny and at least 70 today though. I hope this hopping from 90 to 70 and back to 90 is about finished. One thing or another but not the hopping back and forth. dooley

    Finally finished the seasonal clothing switch last night... Did laundry for days, it seemed. The rain has finally stopped after four straight days of it. It is only 35 (F) outside right now. These cold temps are early this year.

    Morning.
    What a good weekend we had. Sunshine on Sunday. I was able to finish all my flower moving and do yard clean up. Most everything is done. Only need to cut down the vege garden in the greenhouse. Anything else I get done outside now is all a bonus. Have a good day.

    Good morning everyone,

    Its going to be a nice day today.

    Its supposed to start raining later on, and have high winds for a couple days, so i might hold off on going out with the mower and mulching the leaves, if the winds are going to be higher then normal, might as well wait.
