I never really believed in the whole groundhog thing but this year we had such beautiful weather in the beginning of March that I was almost convinced. But no, really ...:)
I prepared our garden by tilling the soil, removing old (and new) weeds. I even bought some seeds:
We had temperatures up to 70F just a week ago, and I was so ready to start working on my garden. Until three days ago when we woke up to this:
The temperatures dropped into the lower 30s, and I'm freezing my tooshie right now :( To make matters worse, it's been a 3-day storm bringing about 8 inches. To prove my point, here's a pic of my 6-year old fruitlessly trying to clear out the recently assembled trampoline:
Poor guy...I'm just so done with winter here!!! And you, groundhog Phil, are such a liar!
How's the weather on your side of the world? :)
Yeah Im thinking a nice groundhog roast or stew right now. I want to get seeds in the ground, I want fresh veggies..now to keep the squirells when that happens
ReplyDeleteNo kidding!!! That's what I said to my husband yesterday too :) I can't wait to start gardening too! I want me some fresh greens.
DeleteWe in the UK are having rough weather. Lots of spring planting should have been done but it's way too cold. Winter has been endless. Some places have had lots of snow but us here on the North West coast have hardly seen any but it's bitter cold. It can't last for ever and your son will soon be on his trampoline.

I hope so, I'm just so done!!! It's hard when you get cold temperatures but no snow. It was 22 degrees this morning here :( I'm SO ready for spring!
DeleteAlthough here in Los Angeles its been a cold winter, we have had barely any rain. I'm ready for spring but dreading the 100 degree weather thats coming in the summer.
ReplyDeleteOh, I can relate! I'm dreading summer heat too! I'd be perfectly fine having 75-80 degrees throughout the year :)
DeleteWiarton Willie has also been a huge disappointed here as I am sure you know . Ha !
ReplyDeleteThey are from the same family...
DeleteWe got 5 inches of snow yesterday and last night, and they are calling for another 2-4 today. :( The dogs love it! I do not!
ReplyDeleteI am so ready for spring! Hopefully it will be here soon.
Oh, I bet the dogs love it :) I hope it will be a very short snowstorm for you!
DeleteOh my gosh, the picture of your son and the trampoline is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThe last few years we have had early spring, not so this year. As I type this we are getting a little light snow. Big snow went south of us today.
Thank you :) It was so fun and sad at the same time to watch him out there :) Poor guy...
DeleteLove that picture. It made me smile. And I agree - my kids wore shorts not that long ago and then yesterday I felt like I wanted to strangle them all. Being cooped up in the house all day doesn't make for happy boys or happy mommas. Guess I should have planned an outing, but I had way to much to do.
ReplyDeleteI thought spring was well under way here too. We've had temps in the 80's and tonight we're expecting a freeze. We have a strong north wind and need to figure out how to keep the tomatoes and peppers from freezing.
ReplyDeleteIt was 22 degrees here this morning :( Can you cover them with anything?
DeleteI too am SO DONE with winter! We've had more snow since spring began than we had most of the winter! Blah! We've had a bit of sunshine lately but it's still so COLD!
ReplyDeleteYikes!! It's sunny here too but, man, it's cold!! I know it's only March and I shouldn't be complaining but I AM!! :)
DeleteThat's a drastic change in weather. I have no idea how people deal with that.
ReplyDeleteYou know, I always think of people with high blood pressure or heart conditions! It's probably so bad for them!! I bet it's amazing right now on Barbados :)
DeleteIt's around freezing here, but the snow had not materialized more than a dusting. More is predicted for tonight. We'll see what happens. I also, love the picture of your son trying to clear off the trampoline.
ReplyDeleteOh, I hope the storm will stay away from you!!
DeleteOh no! I hate when the weather does that. For the past few years, the apricot trees at my parents house have budded and bloomed just to be frozen by a spring storm :( They live in Utah, though, and they have unpredictable weather! Here in Vegas, it's nice :)
ReplyDeleteOh, I can imagine how awesome it is in Vegas right now :)
DeleteOh I made our groundhog into stew... ;)
