HAPPY NEW WEEK!I hope everyone has a peaceful, easy week.
Well, folks, winter made a hard landing on the Midwest today. On Wednesday, the temperature on my patch was 70 degrees F (that's 21 C) with sunshine and a breathtaking sapphire blue sky. The forecasters warned us that it would turn cold Saturday (today) with a light "dusting" of snow. I slept in this morning, and when I woke up, 4 inches of drifting snow covered the ground in a gale-force wind! The Northern Cardinal pair has been coming to my porch to eat the late-season wasps, and the red male landed on the window sill and looked at me with such a confused expression! LOL I was lucky. The winter storm hit further north with such ferocity that the interstate highways had to be closed!Hello to all!
Gardenbirder: Nice to see you!!! Interesting story. Yup, moving that much snow is a lot of work and can't be done quickly, even if you're young. I hope all is well in your world, and you're healthy and happy. I suspect you're missing the ospreys by now.
ANNETTE – You may be surprised to know how much news of your land is on our news – interviews, analyses, pre & post-mortems, often the main feature even before our local news. Likewise with UK events.
I had a morning out with my camera, returning late for lunch. For OH I had left a suggestion which he ate. Me – Did you remember your pill? Him – I didn’t think of it. <sigh> He has some pill/s with every meal.
We have had more rain and some “normal” thunderstorms. Weeding very difficult as the clay is so heavy when wet. I should not complain as NSW & VIC are still suffering floods, some are the worst in memory or since records kept. That water will flow down to our Riverland next month. Frantic efforts to repair levees are underway.
