Well, as cold as those winds were yesterday (and today!) I'm glad MN threw a nice white blanket on the ground! Brrrrrrrr... baby it's cold outside....

We feel sorry for the wild turkeys. A group of 5 came out of the woods and started hurrying toward our feeders then started flying. They rarely fly so this was a treat for us. We wonder how their legs and feet keep from freezing. I did have a crocus blooming next to the house but it's under snow now. I had forgotten we had a heat wave last year about this time. A friend said she planted her peas a year ago. Maybe next week it will be spring.

It seems like it's just taking it's dear old time getting here, doesn't it? I'm luckier than you in that the snow is all but gone around here. There are just a few shady spots that have a few inches of snow/ice and slowly melt more each day. It's still a month or two before the last frost day, but the raspberry buds are swelling and they should have some leaves starting to appear in the next few days. I've got a dozen packets of tomato seeds waiting to be sown in their flats, but that's on the top of my to do list tomorrow.

We got some of your snow and chill here..Talked to my cousin last night and he said his son in law told him, when he retires he's going to go south with a snow shovel and when someone ask him what it is, he'll know that's where he'll put roots down. They live in Colorado. Barb

Yup, we have had lovely weather in southern California the past two weeks. I even finally washed the outside of my windows yesterday, so if it rains soon, you know who caused it! I have been knitting red mufflers for the Red Scarf Project this past two weeks. My sister told me about them. They are an organization who works to encourage kids who have aged out of the foster child care program and are in college with no family support. This organization sends them care packages every now and then, maybe monthly, not sure. But in February, they mail a box that includes a very, very nice homemade red muffler or scarf 5 to 6 inches wide and 60 to 70 inches long. They have to be unisex because they mail to several thousand kids in colleges across the country, and they cannot sort for boys and girls. So I am doing some red scarves for this worthy cause. I have finished two already and have two more on knitting needles. I dug through my stash this morning and decided to try maroon sport yarn I have too. That's red, of a sort, isn't it? I am knitting that yarn into a 3x3 rib. Boring knitting, but it makes a handsome, unisex scarf, and I can watch tv quite easily. I am saving coupons to buy more red yarn at JoAnn's or Michael's. They have thousands of college kids who are on their own to help, and I would like to do several by the time we have to mail them to the organization in the fall.

You are so right about that, Lin ......that blanket will help protect a lot of the new growth. I have come to the conclusion that MN doesn't have the same man made calendar that we use ...........LOL>

No snow here - just gale force (cold!) winds. Cold and windy - my favorite kind of weather - ha!

I think it's going to be a day of folding clothes or something....catching up on all the indoor stuff that didn't get done last week because I was out enjoying the warm, sunny BEAUTIFUL weather LAST WEEK!

We live in north Dallas near Campbell & Coit and I went out this morning to measure how much snow we got and it measured 5 1/2 inches. Wow! It's melting pretty quickly but it's really pretty.

My drive to work Sunday morning was crazy! It looked fine here in Tarrant Co, but by the time I got to the mid-cities area, the accidents were everywhere! I didn't even know we had that many police cars in the metroplex. Highway 121 through Bedford and Grapevine was closed due to accidents.

I haven't looked at my garden yet, hope all the buds are ok.
