Weather in your garden # 91

that water would have been cold!

Yes, Bill, and it was really white water with lots of rocks to break my neck on!

I remember we posted about Yaktrax and Stabilicers. Any favorites??

i use yaktrax - not for hiking, just down my second story deck and driveway - did use them when i was getting rocks when the pond was iced over and did great with them.

Same here, Yaktrax, but not for hiking (the coils would get ruined in no time), for extreme conditions like hiking with gravel, slippery rocks, etc., I'd use my 'ICEtrekkers'

-which I haven't used in a long time, lol!!

DH still has his snowshoes handy. I hope not needed as he has been pulling down a couple of pine branches which were off the trees but since the needle end was stuck in snow, they were vertical.

These look good, if you want to pay $60.

It was a beautiful sunny day with lots of wind. I would have loved to be outside. Now we have another wintry mix coming on Thursday.

My crocus from earlier!

Nice!

Victor I bought these for Randy for work... he said they worked great

victor i think i saw a couple guys hiking using those or something similiar in the late fall.

I ordered them. After today's scare, not that big a deal. Got them for $10 less.

body in one piece.... priceless

I wore my "Alltrax" out within a month of 2-3 miles a day

32 & cloudy.....my road is an icy mess from the brook overflowing! Do not need anymore rain.....save it for July! Not feeling sore except for scrape on left knee.....Victor, very scary moment for you! Glad you ordered the grippers!

I like my TRAX .I cant believe I am in the garden clipping back old echi stems and caging the baptisias.Also cable tied the trellises where I have clems. They are budding.
It was snowing and raining so I came in.
Be careful Victor.I Listen to my cautionary voice. It has saved me almost every day.

up to 34° but still cloudy. Without a warming sun it really feels chilly.

Cloudy, windy waiting for more rain

43 and raining.

Clouding up......more rain on the way, bucket fulls

40° here, a Southeast wind at 17 mph makes it feel like 28°, gray & cloudy outside.

It's been gray & cloudy all day here, chilly wind too. Not expecting to see the sun until Saturday,
after the major rainstorm leaves. -The one that's going to hit us tomorrow.

Hi, home from Hosp. No more gallbladder. Left at 6:30 in the sunshine, came home at 2:30 to grey sky, wind, damp. New flood warnings up for tomorrow. More rain on the way. Lucky me I'm allowed to stay home and sit it out. Maybe I'll just sleep all day.

Hope you feel better soon, Candy.

Glad your home and doing well, take it easy and enjoy the down time while you can. ^_^

Candy, hope you have speedy and complete recovery!

I hope you can get strong quickly. Chilly here so a better day for errands than gardening.

Feel better!

Glad you are home so soon from the op Candy.......have some great me-time!

fast recovery!

Speedy recovery
before you had it removed did you try any gall bladder flushes?

Quick recovery, Candy.

Kinda dreary, not looking forward to more rain.

What we're in for!

I am going to be loving my slopes the next couple of days... already received a text from the town police that they will keep us posted about street closings

Holy crud!!! That is one massive storm
