Today's Weather in Your Garden - 17

Thanks Patti. Not so great news on my pond. Looks like it's gone down about 1/2 inch from last evening. I'll look again tomorrow AM and decide what to do.

Thanks, Pirl. There are a number of really nice streams and creeks in the area.

Patti, true about less work, but it is all backbreaking even on easy years (Get ready for complaining). I'm cheating on my vow to get other people to do the stuff that always turns me into a pretzel. Before I "discovered" ibuprofen therapy, I would be in bed for a week from today's shenanigans. Anyway, that year with the tree limb was just horrid. I promise I'll try not to complain so much in the future. Most of the things I do in the garden repay me, but I never asked for a willow tree! Especially when I looked up today and saw why there are lots of woodpeckers-some of those darn big branches are dead! Well I won't stand under it much and I'll enjoy the woodpeckers while I can!! ^_^

It is COLD and windy here in Binghamton!!!

The drive out was rainy/showery (?) with snow mixed in. It had stopped by the time we reached the University just after noon, but that wind....!

Great pics, victor.

Thanks, Lynn. It was really windy on top of the mountain.

That must have been some cold front coming through. The wind is still whipping through Broome County.

It was cloudy, cool & a few raindrops earlier, but it became sunny late--was able to go out with the 3yr old--to "birdwatch" at the feeder, & to pick my spring blooms. She was fascinated with the hyacinths, as the smell just about knocked us out! I am trying to shame her father, my DS, into putting up feeders & birdhouses for her, but I know they do get a lot of bears--however, they could take the feeders down in Spring. Have been putting cortisone on the tick bite, but it is still a huge, annoying lump! Victor--nice shots of Bear Mt. Wish I could still climb, but my hikes are now limited to flat places! And I still need the Tylenol!

Took a little walk today also... though a nursery! ☺

How long was the tick attached, Robin?

Nice, WC!

WC, went into mine (local nursery) yesterday and had the same view - it was beautiful! As is yours!

WC - beautiful! If they'd only return each year!!!

Made a left at the pansies...

In my own backyard.

and a right at the JM's ☺

of course I had to visit the caves too! ☺

Looks nice, WC. And big.

DW has decided I deserve a gift...

Either an Acer Paladium:

Inaba Shidare
Dista Mukoyana
Dissec Red Dragon
Dissec. Crimson Queen
Bloodgood
or
Dissect Red Select

- so many choices... so hard to choose. ☺

Nice wife!

It's one of 17 Victor, the other side hasn't opened yet! ☺

Wow!

Lovely pirl!
I havent been able to use the internet since a lightning strike yesterday left me w/o being able to use the tele!

17 wives?

Funny! That was my first reaction, too, and I wondered if all 17 were giving him such lavish gifts. Now that would be fun.

Harem?

Who would have guessed it of WC? Victor, maybe, but not WC.

It's always the quiet ones...

It would almost be like me imprisoning the RCMP.

Lovely photos from your hike, Victor! That shot of the neat stone coloration was very interesting!

WC - that was a beautiful shot of the colorful tulips!

Lovely daffy shot, Pirl!! I can't wait to get back and see my bulbs blooming up there!

You guys are just too funny!

Great photo pirl! My white daffys are in bloom right now but I realy love the yellow with orange trumpets. You've just got to love spring!

Looks like a good time WC - I always hit my head on the hanging planters it seems.

I talked hubby into stopping into the Lowe's up here so I could check out their indoor plants. Ended up with an Adenium, a bonsai ficus, a NOID succulent and a bag of mixed caladium bulbs. Now to find some room when we arrive home!

Thanks Donnie ☺

As for the 17 yes... the '70's was fun, but it was hard going anywhere w/o getting "busted". ☺

WC...Really? Where were you in the 60's? Obviously not at Woodstock (nor was I). DH was living in Haight and I was in the Grove. Now those were the days. "Busted" was a status symbol.

Laurel

Temp 44.4°, Wind NNE 9.7 mph, Windchill 28.1°

WC will never tell... ☺☺☺!

I think the saying is that if you can remember the 60s, you weren't really there! I wouldn't know - I was still a child! Ha, ha!

34 and sunny - chilly!!!

40 with 12 MPH winds. The lows for tonight and tomorrow night are definitely not good news!

it's chilly mow with sun trying. BIG Clouds comming and going. High expected in the high 40's

Bright and sunny but cold. Only a very chilly 29 degrees, but it should warm quickly with the sun shinning so brightly. Not much wind this am. Birds are singing and Tom Turkey is still strutting his stuff. Many perennials seem to be growing inches at a time and except for a few still freezing nights it sure is a lot like spring all over the place.
