Back in the 30's

17 years ago

Can you believe it's almost May and we were back into the 30's again last night! I shouldn't be surprised because our frost date is 4/30 but it's so rare for it to be that cold this time of year. We've had exactly 3 nice days with temps above 70 so far this year. We should be averaging around 70 by now. I'd dragged all my brugs and other plants outside last week and I wasn't bringing them back in. I do have my really tender stuff in the greenhouse and I ran the heater last night. I got up this am expecting to see some very unhappy plants but they look good. My brug didn't even drop her bud, neither did anything else in bud and the thermometer outside said 38 F. I'm glad I didn't knock myself out dragging everything back in or covering it. Well temps in the 80's are predicted for the weekend. I sure hope so and I hope this is the end of the cold.

    LOL Karyn, temperatures all around the world are weird since last year..
    Over here we as supposed to have a dry season with not much rain, and a wet season. Just those two.
    Since a few years ago i noticed and could feel the increase in temperature. It has been getting hotter and hotter over here. Our usual day temperature used to be about 30 degrees celcius, but now its like 34 degrees celcius.
    And right now it dry season, and there is alot more rain than it should have.
    Global Warming..

    Karyn that is terrible! We all were so happy for ya that you too are seeing warmer days. Guess we should have wished warmer nights for ya too ;-)
    SO glad everything looks ok and it did not drop down to freezing.

    Siam I think we all are seeing and feeling the changing of the weather. I think the way it USED to be, will never come back and we better brace ourselves for this suprises.

    I'm sure you'll warm up soon, we were in the 30's earlier this week. Wednesday, it was sonowing one minute, rain the next, then the sun came out, then hail, snow.....just a little bit if everything all day. But now it is supposed to be in the 60s and 70s.

    I'm glad they didn't get hurt. Its been really nice here for last couple of days with it warm but a cool breeze. Unusual for here this time of year too. I hope I feel well enough to get some plants in the ground this weekend before it gets too hot.

    38 this morning and close to 80 this afternoon. It supposed to be in the 80's tomorrow and maybe hit 90 on Sun. As weird as this weather has been I wouldn't be surprised if it was back down near 40 on Mon. lol

    still hasn't broken 70 yet here :\ at least we're not freezing though, right? :)

    Karyn, I fell twice while I was so anxious to drag those
    brugs out! Nothing serious...just funny. On the second fall
    I was dragging them BACK inside. Larry said that I was
    going to kill myself and that is how I felt at that moment.
    LOL.. What we go through for these brugs (worth the effort
    though) Tomorrow's forcast is 90 and similiar for the rest
    of the week. In the ground they go over the weekend!! I'm
    done. Hope it warms up for you also.

    Karyn,
    I thought you and I were in the same zone 7a? Our last frost date is 4/15. We have been warm and already hit 90 the other day. Our nightly lows are in the mid 60s. I just don't know what to do with you and your weather!!!??? LOL!!! I have tried sending our heat your way as you can have it! I would love cooler temps to last longer. Anyway, I hope you are enjoying your Birthday celebration this weekend and that your plants remain happy!

    Margaret I'm glad you didn't hurt yourself. I refuse to knock myself out schlepping plants in and out. There's a few "special" plants that I will move depending on the forecast but with the majority once they are out they stay out come hell or high water!

    Joyce I am in 7a but I guess since it's in a different part of the country the temps are different. There was a almost a 50 degree difference between the high and low temps yesterday. Last night and this am are just beautiful. I got up at 5 to work outside because DD informed me that I'm taking her and a friend to Nordstrom to go dress shopping today. Ask me if that's what I want to do on one of the first nice days? I was going to argue but she did remind me that I told her we'd go last week. They have memories like elephants when it comes to some things. lol

    Did DD find a nice clothes?
    Hope you are having more nice days!!
    As I type this, we are getting lots of rain. Which is in fact real great for the wild things growing in the wild area of the yard.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH the new computer shipped on Saturday so it should be here this week!!! PICTURE TIME is near!!! lol

    Yesterday I had to take pictures of the wildflowers growing in the back. As far as the eye can see it all looked purple. I refuse to get out the lawnmower!

    Funny part is when I walked back there and looked down on my feet. I saw purple drops on top of one. So those flowers would most likely make great for dying things like eggs or what have you.

    Now I forgot what this threat was all about

    ROFLMAO

    Karyn, I did the same thing and all of mine survived. LOL, I don't know why it is different, but it took several hours getting everything off of the porch and out of the aviary, there was no way I was going to bring it all back in. My back was out anyway. Thankfully everything really seemed to enjoy it.
    Glad all is well, Linda
