It's still cold here (low 20's for the low and low 40's for the high). Next week we'll probably be in the 70's and the week after in the teens. Just seems to be the way of the weather. Spring for us is at least another 8 weeks (middle of April is supposed to be the last frost date but we got close to freezing in early May two years ago). I waited to the end of May to do any seed planting last year which was a big mistake - it got hot and dry so a lot of seeds didn't come up. This year I plan on planting the middle of April - it should make a big difference. My parents in TN may get a hard frost in the middle of May but I understand that in MN they can get a frost any day in the summer (too cold for me). I'm ready to retire to someplace tropical.

This picture is at Herman's Cave in Belize one year ago today. It was probably mid 80's and 90% humidity that day. Our tour guide and my wife are ready to enter the mouth of the cave.
