Not the kitchen window, but outside my front door. It’s a soggy mess.

Summer - is that a Junco? My favorite, but we rarely see them. Thanks.

Mud.

Marilyn, that says it all. I have been living in my rain boots since the end of September.

NW Pennsylvania. Out my back door. We actually haven't had a lot of snow this year compared to some years although we may get some later today.

The sun (yay!! sun!!) is just now coming above all the large trees that surround me so ony starting to see what's what outdoors. Looks to be a pretty decent early spring day firing up, although chilly. We have been below 'normal' average temps for weeks - February was reported as the third coldest ever in this area. But our 'cold' is relative........40's instead of 50's :-)

My landscaping partner sent over a few of his crew earler this week. They did a marvelous early clean-up for me - cleared up all the winter storm debris, weeded and cut back what needed to be cut back, so now I can enjoy the emerging spring bulbs properly!! And if it warms up enough to be comfortable, start planting!

Lots of stuff blooming in mid TN now, my grass actually needs to be mowed. That will end early next week when temps are forecast to drop into the mid teens for at least two nights. So much for living in 'the south'.

Outside my kitchen window is lovely view of the tree that fell during the insane winds last weekend. We had 65 mph gusts that knocked down a beautiful tree that was a privacy screen from the ugly apartments behind us plus provided shade from the harsh evening sun in the summer. UGH!

Five inches Thursday night, five inches last night and tomorrow 5-10??

SW PA We have spots of snow in the yard. We are expecting snow tomorrow. 3-5 inches. Well at least the robins are back and my crocus are starting to pop up. That is a good sign. March - In like a lion and out like a lamb.

arkansas girl - That wind was wicked. We hit 60 mph. High winds are not common for our area. Lots of trees down and over 150,000 with out electric. Some for days. Luckily we had no trees down and our electric stayed on. Thank goodness it happened in the winter when the trees were leafless or it could of been a lot worse.

There was a tornado about 40 miles from me yesterday. We just had thunderstorms strong enough to scare my dogs (doesn’t take much). Heavy thunderstorms predicted for tomorrow, then it’s supposed to get really cold. My peach trees and blueberries are flowering. Oh well. Hiding in the bathroom yesterday:

dragonflywings42 - Yes, it is a dark-eyed junco.

Poor pup, Iris. It’s easy to see s/he’s stressed. My dog looks like that when he rides in the car, shaking. It’s sad.

arkansas girl - so sorry about your tree! I can only pray that is not my old Maple's fate. :(

Not today but last Saturday in Tucson, Arizona. A most unusual sight. So beautiful.
