Tonight & tomorrow! Wish me snow, girls - I can't face spring without at least a few flakes!! New snow accumulation of 2 to 4 inches possible tomorrow...

Never heard that one! I'll have to poll some of the old timers around here. We've got 3 gorgeous, huge oaks on a hillside next to the house that bear big scars from lightening - and they're still alive and well. I like to think of them as the old matriarchs of the farm.

The weather in Mississippi has been wild this spring. I returned from a press tour on the Mississippi coast to find lightning had struck a nice, big old Oak in the side pasture. I am hoping despite the missing bark and two inch crack, somehow it might survive.
When I made the comment to a friend that at least it will make good firewood, he said "the old folks say a tree hit by lightning won't burn."
Anyone ever heard this wive's tale before? Course, I haven't tried burning any yet, so perhaps I've spoken too soon?

Well, we hit the mid 80's today, and it was BEAUTIFUL!!! Here's wishing you all an amazing tomorrow!!!
And, JoAnn - here's wishing you a speeding healing. AND, I'll know not to use concentrated Tide! I have pretty sensitive skin to stuff like that, and I usually wash my clothes with Dr. Bronner's Sal Suds. It IS a detergent, not a soap, and it seems to do a great job. It's gentle, with sort of a mild, piney scent. Anyhoo - wishes for a speedy recovery!
XOXO, Libbie

It's been strangely cool here, but no maliciously hard freeze like last year. It feels a lot like WA! But it's supposed to be sunny and 83 tomorrow!! Time to head to the creek...

We had a spell of nice weather and now it is cooler. At the end of the week it's suppose to warm up big time. May 88 by Sat! I'm hoping they are wrong because I got a bad rash (I think it's from the new concentrated Tide I was using)and it shows no signs of going away soon so short sleeves are out of the question : ( JoAnn

This post caught my eye - because today we had just that - RAIN and SNOW!!! IN MAY!!! The MIDDLE of MAY!!!
It was just so strange that I had to bundle the boys up and take them out in it - I just couldn't believe it. I'm SO glad I didn't put the tomato plants out yet...
How's the weather for you gals - has spring "sprung" yet?
XOXO, Libbie
