25*, feels like 15*, 45% humidity, NW 10 mph wind, partly cloudy, FLOOD WARNING Spring is close. I know it now. This morning I woke to that change in the air, that indescribable smell that wakes me every year when the spring switch is thrown. And though the day is most certainly NOT spring like, there was that smell. It's close. It's coming! Speaking of smells, I also got a whiff of summer as

Fantastic Friday!

25*, feels like 15*, 63% humidity, NE 9 mph wind, cloudy, FLOOD WARNING Friday, at last. Not that this has been a bad week (except for my grumpy butt syndrome yesterday morning) I am just glad the weekend is here. Having a WHOLE weekend off is exciting to me. It hasn't happened in a long while. This weekend I hope to hit the Heron Rookery about 20 minutes away, where the herons should be busy

33*, feels like 25*, 89% humidity, SSW 10 mph wind, cloudy I really am tired of having to say the S word. You know the one. I'm deep in the S. There is a whole new layer of it. But, there is hope! According to the forecast, we MAY hit 41* today. That would be freakin' awesome and the long term forecast sees us hovering at around the freezing mark instead of near 0*. That's freakin' awesome too!

Some of y'all may have seen these lists bumping around in the blogger world and so I too will list what makes me happy (or just 8 of them as it takes very little to make ol' girl gone gardening happy). Here they are in no particular order: 1) Starting plants from seed. Sure, sometimes there is some cursing involved like "Oh crap-noodles! MOLD!" but overall it is an engaging and fun experience.
