    Twenty Nine degrees this morning on the first day of spring. Had 2 robins in the yard just now, but they waited until it got above freezing!

    Still snowing here but I'm sure spring will come along - eventually.

    Crikey, Capt. you're colder than we are! :eek: We were on 25°F/-4°C this morning. We haven't got groundhogs so nobody's lied to me yet, but the forsythia's still not in bloom here either.

    Yep! COLD! it's snowing here right this minute. I am soooo ready for spring. I planted 40 tomatoes in one greenhouse this week and then started planting all the hanging baskets and potted tomatoes, peppers and eggplants for container sales. I filled the 16x28 with all those container. One minute the sun is shining and the fans kick on then the clouds fill the sky and it is snowing....can't make up her mind, I guess.
