Today's Weather in Your Garden - 11

0 here now. Slow warm up coming.

3g's your forecast is terrible and cold!! Makes spring seem farther away with predictions like that!!

Cold but no wind out there now. The gusts yesterday took down a blue spruce at the corner. Luckily it did not cause any damage.

14, and no more wind here either. Snow and sleet predicted for Friday eve. A church in the city lost its steeple. Not as bad as the winds we had a few weeks ago.

Yes, mixture of sleet and rain and more wind for tomorrow, followed by a milder weekend. That little rodent better not see his shadow.

This one is pretty complex for I spy.

Cool! (Literally and figuratively.)

I got a lamb and a preying mantis for sure.

I see lots of things in there.

Lamb?? What is this obsession with sheep, Al? It's prolly a dog again.

I see a couple faces...

What no penguins??
- Nice shot! ☺

I have more than one obsession now really! That guy from Mars Attacks.

I do see a sheep's head! All the way to the left at the horizontal bar.

with a moose's nose!

That's it - more obvious that last time.

Wondering what all these people with nothing better to do are looking at...

I have the day off, and fixed the fence that the wind blew down yesterday, and now just want to sit and DG.

DG has become a verb!

That shot is next to this one, a person lives in the old locktender house and has taken over.LOL

Okay I give up. I see feet and boots. But I don't see the house.

No house in this one, that is 20' to the left of this - they put all the bric a brac out on the dam railings.

this is the house in summer(Oct4 - good enough,LOL)

* it's the shack by the red tree

Just like Vienna. I think I better go eat, I'm getting very weird.

What body of water is this, Al?

That's the Fox River. I've posted shots from this area before.

Not quite Vienna Booj - eat up ;)

Al, love the industrial photographs, stunning. Have you ever looked at a series of books published by MIT of Water tower, Gas tanks, and other industrial shots, by Bernd Becher and Hilla Becher. I lost several prized copies of early ones due to water damage a few years back. They are amazing, but I think some of yours are too.

Stunning tree too, what is it. My DH mom was from WI. I haven't been there in years.

I went to the beach with the dogs today. Thanks, Patti

Yes - many shots. I didn't remember you mentioning the name though. How close is it to your house?

Those are cool Patti. I love industrial stuff too. Not much around where I live. I love old machinery, and of course anything electrical - generators, etc. There was a legend around at work that Admiral Rickover once stood on top of our 5000 HP motor-generator set and barked, 'Start it up!', but we have never seen the photo that was supposed to have been snapped. I posed in the same spot - with everything off of course.

Beach? That's better than the sand I used to have in the kids' sandbox!
That's an old industrial area Patti. I like the books on old houses and watertowers in that set.

Victor - That area is about a 15 minute drive from here.

Here is a funny shot of the one dog, Nell, who found the water a tad cold today. Her sister went for a full soaking. Nell will do anything to get a ball. If I could just teach her to tip toe through my tulips as gingerly this spring, I would be thrilled. Patti

no kidding Patti... very cool puppy pic

Al those shots are great.. thanks for sharing

Nice Patti. I love the Becher's work.

29 with sleet currently

34 now with rain and possible sleet due later. Good day to spend time in the basement with my dahlia tubers.

I just posted on Crazy Weather what is supposed to happen here but right now nothing. Colin is pounding on the piano and singing at the top of his lungs - ouch!! I think it is time to get off the computer and shut the door on this room!! He's got a lot to learn about singing!! LOL Eleanor

-8C or 20F, cold.
Snowing like crazy. A nice day to stay in.

Sposta start soon here. Sleet and snow-2 inches then freezing rain. I cancelled work.

Raining and 32.

Well, just had the dogs out...5 inches of new snow and still accumulating, white out conditions.

Birds, Robins then Starlings, at my window a bit ago drinking up the snow melt, but it is starting to rain now. We are suppose to get a fair amount. Patti
