I’m pretty annoyed! I had TWO DAYS OFF in a row (yesterday & today) and it’s so bloody cold and windy out that it’s hard to get anything done. Grrrr!

I worked on the back tree line yesterday for a while, then decided I’d better get a pro in here to finish trimming those spruces before I electrocute myself as a power line runs through there too, LOL! I also had so many burrs in my hair that I had to cut a hunk out of my head! Oh, well. All of those ‘cut on the horizontal’ styles are ‘in’ these days, so I can probably pull it off, LOL!

Got some spring veggies planted the other evening, and I did some pruning and cleaning up along the edges of the garden, but the entire garden needs to be cleaned out before I can start dumping stuff in there (I’ve been collecting broken bags-o-amendments from work) and get it all tilled up. But, I have until mid-May, so I have plenty of time.

Work has been slow because it’s been so cold, but when the weather breaks, it’s going to get ugly, LOL!

Please pray for me... :)

I can certainly relate to your irritation. In the last 24 hours we have had rain, sleet, which is distinguished from freezing rain, snow, tornado warnings, embedded thunderstorms, with one moving through at the moment. And winds.

Of course I 80 was closed for awhile at North Platte west which is about 100 miles west of me.

On the other hand it is supposed to be up to 58 here tomorrow in south central Nebraska.

My tulips that were ready to open definately said whoa- not today. I am hearing thunder at the moment. It is a distance away and the clouds right now are not nearly as heavy as they were.

Spring will win out. Eventually.

Well Diana, we have had a few days in the 90s already, and no rain to speak of this year. I hope to get the rest of the tomaotes into the garden this weekend. We will keep you in our prayers.

Can anyone identify this plant? It's not a plant we learned in MG class, and I can't find anything like it in the various seed and bulb catalogs.
