Nice day while it lasted

9 years ago

Aside from the wind today was wonderful. Nice and warm and some sunshine. Days like today really make me get excited for spring. Good thing my garden isnt ready and I dont have anything to plant or I just may have put something in the dirt.

Hope you all go to enjoy it before the front comes through tonight.

Mike

It was gorgeous here. Our mesonet station hit 81 degrees but we only made it to 78 at our house. Still, 78 degrees in January is pretty wonderful. I don't think we had good steady sunshine until the afternoon, but even a partly sunny day is a nice day.

The wind has been pretty bad and sure has spread grass fires today at various places around the state. With the heat and the way the wind was blowing, I was wondering if we were going to skip February and go straight to March. Sadly, the good times are all done and now we'll watch the temperatures fall and the rain roll in.

This early heat is giving my fruit trees and roses the wrong idea, so I want for the colder temperatures to hurry up and get here and bring those plants back to their senses.

I had an early morning eye appointment and they dilated my eyes. I wanted to be outside so badly but it was too bright for me and I missed the best outdoor day of the month. I was so bored that I took a nap.

Thank you....A lady at the yard sale told me I should sell them, but I don't think they'd go over real well around here. I could be wrong, but I don't really see people with this kind of stuff in their yards in this area. I would love to open up a garden and craft shop someday, but maybe I could host a craft show to see how it goes. I agree, the colored glass is gorgeous, but I mainly stayed with the clear because it was cheaper and much easier to find. It's going to be hard not to buy pretty glass that I see when we are out at flea markets. It was as much fun hunting for the glass as putting it all together.

Juicyj, Sorry, IÂm still stewing at loosing the plants. Hell, if I strapped them to pigeons and flew them across the St. Lawrence there would have been no issue. Adding insult to injury, the plants were started from seeds sourced in the US??? IÂm still sorry I couldnÂt keep my commitment but lying and getting caught would have made life very uncomfortable. IÂm not gonna give up though. IÂm heading back to NY in two weeks and IÂll try to get a few plants to you. Sam, Hey, good on ya. Thanks for stepping up. Ravi, Common, you know IÂm not a nice guy. IÂll see you at the kitten juggling club Thursday night. Bill

Very briefly did it tickle 86F so,my plants were o.k.(-; I know what you mean though....you can really see the Trachys are very happy in these temps after it being to warm and dry all summer... Looking at the 25 day which is accurate for a few days out(-; there are no temps that I will need to cover the palms or cactus for- last year I didn't cover the Washy until Dec 1-it did defoliate(some)but I think it is o.k. now(-; If you look at the top line(or so)of your weatherunderground page you will see(to the right of were it says)rapid fire updates and on the same line it says free weather stickers... just copy and paste....I wish everyone posted theirs- we would have an instant weather network among posters- not to mention that its a quick easy way to see what the weathers doing across poster land! Still 73F at 9am (-: the cold front approaches,bringing a November end to our June temps.

A nap is never a bad thing, Carol. I need to make room in my life for more naps.

It was the best outdoor day of the month, but it felt too hot. I know that later on, we'll laugh that 81 degrees felt insanely hot, but it did. Tim, Chris and I all felt the weather this week has felt too hot to be comfortable. I guess that's because our bodies are more used to 40 or 50 degree highs at this time of the year.

I guess it is irrelevant now. The cold has returned and it is all downhill from here for the next few days.

Sorry you missed it, Carol! *hugs I hafta nap, sometimes. I think it's my heart.. just out of shape. It's ironic that gardening is the best thing for it.

Loved the day Had to clean the dirt from my fingernails. I still had hay in my hair before bedtime. Pitched hay on a windy day... lol

Hope it rains this weekend.
