16 years ago

I want SO BADLY to be working out in my yard, but it's RAINING! It's COLD and raining!!! I have four 55 gallon drums for a rainbarrel and all 4 overfilled in just a couple hours this morning!!!

I started working on a section of my yard on Monday and have run in and out to work between rainstorms all week! TODAY I can't even get a 10 minute rain break!

So, I'm painting some wood signs to put in my garden to identify the various plants and am bending wire to hang the signs from. It's really NOT what I want to be doing, but at least it's something! AAAAAAAUGH! I wanna go OUTSIDE and play!!!! How's the weather in YOUR neighborhood????

    It has been beautiful here all week. I actually wore shorts to work today and got a little bit of a sun burn yesterday. We have been spending time cleaning out the camper that we turned into a storage shed a couple of summers ago. I hope it doesn't start raining too early tomorrow since we haven't finished yet and still have a bunch of stuff sitting on the lawn. I actually found all the stuff I have around here for garden junk and now will be able to start working on it when it is raining here.

    Has been pretty warm here in AZ..
    Living in a motorhome we have to travel light and compact so a lot of things I really want I can not have.
    Started washing up the lawn ornaments to start packing them for the trip back north for the summer. Have a few pots to replant for the journey also.
    Should be on the road the end of the month.

    85 today and sunny. In the 40s at night. Low humidity. Glorious weather!

    But that's just the last week or so. We had your weather for 2 months. But now that the sun is out everything looks so much better this spring for all the rain. Take heart. April showers really do bring May flowers!

    Since the sun has come out everything has started to bloom. Dogwood, azalea, wisteria, spirea. The air smells sweet, even at night. Oh and the early roses are just starting. I've been seeing bees for weeks and saw my first butterfly today.

    Keep making those signs, it will get better.

    Didn't get any yard work done today as chilly but yesterday afternoon was beautiful & got the hedge 1/2 done. I think it will be in 70's tomorrow but rain is supposed to come in Sun. night & mon. We could use another good 1 & so could my new grass that I had to use for filling in after Bro & I dug up a hunk of my yard. Orange tree looks like it has snow under it so many petals have fallen off, hummers were eating the nectar & I started counting the oranges that are ready to eat & gave up too many to count. Lot needs doing but mom's dr. appts came 1st,she had 2nd eye done thurs & is seeing much better already. Have a nice Easter Sunday everyone!! Jan

    I know that is so frustrating, I drive my DH crazy when I can't get out in the yard. Fortunately the weather was nice here this past weekend, really warm (80's) just a little windy. It had rained on Friday night, but I still got out there Saturday and Sunday and got some major work done, just a little muddy.

    ZOWIE! SUNSHINE OUTSIDE TODAY!!! My grandson and son in law were running in and out between drizzles yesterday trying to work on a fence they're putting in...wouldn't you know it that Monday (when SIL goes back to work) it would be sunny!

    I got a whole lot of perennials planted in my cutting garden yesterday and hope to get some herbs planted today! OFF to enjoy the sunshine! Have a great day everybody!

    Have fun in the sun today! I know how frustrating it can be when you want so badly to be outside, but the weather will not cooperate.

    I'm waiting for the sun to go down so I can plant some more. HOT here!

    It was in the 80s on Saturday and its been unseasonably warm every other day since as well. Can't say I haven't been enjoying it. Finally one upped my brother who lives on Monterey Bay in CA and is always bragging about the weather there. He's been cold and rainy. I've got to post a few garden pics. Maybe I'll take some tomorrow.
