A century of Turkey talk 2000-2100.

How long after his dx did you have with him? We have read so many different things.

Not long... around a year. He had general anesthesia for a heart cath... that brought it out and it was diagnosed then. Mom had a real rough time with him. Lots of hallucinations, etc. You likely know, but quite a lot of anesthesia-type drugs can exacerbate the symptoms—permanently. You truly have my respect and sympathy. It’s not easy but you’ll get through.

It was 72°F yesterday. This morning it is 31°F and the weather rock has a wet white covering on it. The wind is nasty coming from the east. Cindy & Ralphie, please stop sharing.

LOL It’s 22 here, maybe 3” of heavy wet snow and we are super grateful for the lack of knee-deep whiteness. S’posed to be cold all week, tho. Everyone’s talking about flowers... I have heard of these flowers. Long ago, before this endless winter, I think I may have a faint memory of such things—they were beautiful, I think...

He's a looker! Afraid my girls wouldn't let him get 5 feet into the yard before they'd start fawning over him. They'd be smitten!

Your girls? Heck, I’m smitten. That’s one good-lookin’ boy.

He's a hunk! But there is a certain allure with Ralphies beer belly boy! The image cracks me up!

We are getting soggy snow that melts as soon as it hits the ground. It's slanting in from the North mostly, maybe a bit from the West too, since it usually blows that way.

I can't believe this snow bomb stuff! Its April for gosh sake!

 

[memphis]

My girls were looking at me yesterday wondering where their wading pools & fans were.

 

[Bantambird]

Last frost date here is typically end of May. That's what I get for living in planting zone 4. If we plant on the south side of a building and baby the planting, we can sometimes get away with zone 5 stuff. So yeah, can have snow most of the year.

 

[ketojenn]

Zone 3 here. Snow does occasionally happen in summer. It usually doesn't frost hard after may though.

 

[memphis]

We're in zone 7 here. Its supposed to go down into the mid 40's this weekend. You should hear everyone complaining! I will say, its unusual for us.
