It was shocking to have 70F, then see practically a blizzard tonight and 13F.

Those who say chickens can't handle temperature variances don't have a clue.

Yeah, for sure!
Yesterday I went for my first bike ride of the year and the chickens were running around the yard, and today they'll stay in the coop till the afternoon and I'll let them out into the run.

And now its 26 and windy.

I never thought about the trees. We have young fruit trees, about 7 years old that all started producing well last year, like peaches coming out our ears even. I sure hope these high/low temps don't wind up killing them!

On this date every year, at 4:44 AM the moon shines through our S.W. bedroom window..
6F this morning.. I wonder if it will go below zero at daybreak ??
strange weather.. I wonder if it will be strange all summer ?

We have 2 apple trees, one that e just planted last summer and one that is 4 years old. I sure hope all of our trees dont die.

Im worried my fruit trees go into flower to soon than get a freeze..yes temp swings can damage trees. depends on time year and cultivator, im no expert on the subject.

I had 2 peach trees and the fruit were smaller but just as good as peaches from down south. They were about 4 years old and flowering, leaves started turning brown and died in a month. planted 1 more and lived a year and died. gave up.
I love fresh peaches.
