creekland Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 The garden had its first rototilling today. We bought broccoli plants, peas, kale, and lettuce to plant on Thursday (after a few more winter days). The grass is turning green, plus we have 9 bunches of crocuses blooming... with daffodils and hyacinths not too far behind... and, it was 64 sunny degrees out. There's a reason spring is my favorite season! It's always much nicer after a hard winter too. My mom (upstate NY - Canadian border) had more snow. On the phone today I reminded her why we moved further south... and invited her (again) to join us. I actually like winter (and dislike hot summers). I just like a shorter winter than what I grew up with. To those still in winter's blast... I'll try to send some spring air north! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amo_mea_filiis. Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'm calling it Sprinter. It snowed a bit this morning. Warmed up to bike riding. It's colder again now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SebastianCat Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I'd be happy to ship some pollen up your way for those further north....we're ready for spring to be over in FL. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matryoshka Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 It finally warmed up to the 50's today. But there's still tons of snow in my yard, and it's been so cold for so long that all the ponds are still completely covered in ice. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melissa in Australia Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Starting to get autumnish here, heavy dews in the morning, and apple harvest in full swing (In summer there is no dew, just too dry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn- Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My vehicles all turned yellow this morning. My son with eye reactions had to start drops again. These are the ways I know spring has arrived. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom in High Heels Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 My eyes can tell you that spring is coming. They're red and puffy and itch like mad. Boo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creekland Posted March 23, 2014 Author Share Posted March 23, 2014 I suppose it does help to not have allergies... :grouphug: to those with them. Now we're in for four days of "Sprinter" (neat word!) - one of those with snow!!! - before we can get outside and start planting what we bought. I'm definitely ready for it. Fresh apples would taste good... but I'm definitely not ready for fall just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 I can tell it is on its way.....it comes by mud and snot, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeannie in NJ Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Fall is my favorite season, what with the leaves changing color. But I also like spring a lot. I even like winter. I HATE summer. always have, when I was a kid leaving in North Texas with its stinking hot summers and even here in NJ, I hate summer. We also tend to have very short springs here so I try to enjoy the spring, short as it can be, knowing that summer would be coming soon.
