Re: I'm Ready For Nice Weather!
It was in the mid-60s here yesterday and I just saw on the weather report that it might get to 70 today. After 6 months of cold, grey skies, snow, ice rain, high winds and just plain nastiness this balmy day will be a real treat!
Last October I planted some spring bulbs in pots and set them in my garage. I kept them moist by dumping a few handsful of snow on them every now and then and, during the dreariest time in February, I moved them on my covered porch. At the beginning of March I saw the tiniest little green shoots poke through the soil and a week later the blue iris were blooming. I can't begin to tell you how that lifted my winter depression!
The ice floe in the pool is nearly all gone, probably will be thawed by this afternoon. Well, okay, maybe not all of it but I can break large pieces off with the skimmer pole and swish them around to make them melt faster. There are some leaves on the bottom and lots of bracts and as soon as the plumbing is connected again I'll be able to vacuum.
This year I'll be more careful and will try not to fall in.
