Tom, although I can't wait for 80F degrees, your back yard looks like a Christmas card..very pretty. I too have a small gh..make sure you brush snow off the top..snow is so darn heavy. Plus it prevents needed sun, if there's any to begin with. Archie is adorable..wonder what he's thinking? lol Mojave,,,yep, he reminds me of The Thinker statue, too..all he needs to do is, somehow, place his paw under his chin..lol..Toni Play Ball...are they? or was it cancelled due to rain?

and I thought it was really funny. Since I had opened the disgusted and gone post, I had to open SamKaren's. But, I am not reading all the responses. Sam, I just want you to know, I love your post. I wish, someone had gotten me. :) Moni

Anyone remember back when the real Quilted Northern commercial, animated, had the people quilting on a frame with knitting needles?! That was hysterical! They did fix it eventually...which was a bit of a shame just because the first version was so absurd and amateurish (like even if they're just drawing it, you'd think they'd look at pictures of the real thing first...). Agreed that the Rustic Weave was very funny. I especially liked the super special Extra Virgin birch. :)

Isn't that right. Fruit trees ARE a crapshoot here. My grandparents in MO have had fruit trees blooming already, and they get fruit about once every fifth year, and this year is the fifth year so they should get them, but this will likely freeze their trees. Our forecast has come to be about the same as yours now. I'll probably cover up my brassicas in the ground with tarps or mason jars tonight. I was able to get some turnips and potatoes in today, and some beetroot in yesterday. It's shaping up to be a cool spring I think I don't know how are ancestors did it!!
