    ewww! we aren't that cold, but it isn't a lot warmer than that it seems. Damp and cool to cold is the weather here, but no snow, at least. Hope you have a nice warm up soon.

    All in all I'd rather have my roses, thank you.
    We didn't have any snow this year and I'm just as happy without it. I had enough when we lived in Wisconsin. Where we moved from Arizona, they had a lot of snow this past year. True, it melted in a day or so, but you still had to walk or drive in it.
    It is pretty in your yard though. You can enjoy my roses, okay.

    Oh my! I feel guilty. It was it the mid-to-upper 80s here today with just a few puffy clouds. :oops:

    Geez. Nope, not my kinda landscaping, thank you!
    We are already worried we'd be getting some cold spells to kill the apricot blossoms...it happens quite often, and bye-bye apricot jam :(

    I am soooooooooooo glad we don't have snow and we are normal for this time of year so we could get it. I don't miss it and hopefully you can get outside and make a snow person before it is gone.

    Snow is beautiful to look at but that is about all....terrible driving in it so stay safe.

    No snow here, but chilly. Bought garden blankets this morning because weather man is making me nervous.

    An inch or so of 'poor man's fertilizer'. It will slow progress a bit but eventually spring will win and you will have to put up with all the flowers. :)
