Nevadans?

WHO ordered this weather? First 100 mph wind and rain, now 27 degrees, 50 mph plus wind and SNOW.

I was looking forward to spring.

My chickens might revolt.

I didn't do it, I swear!!! I've had tomato plants in the window sill since February and I keep thinking I can plant them soon but noooooo! Today it's so cold I can't even put the few large veggie pots, that did get planted, outside during the day! I've got veggies all over the house that need to be transplanted, HELP!!!

I know I am ready for somebody to explain to the weather that this is Nevada! You know Dessert, Sunshine. I think we have had our quota of rainy days for the next 5 years since November alone. Of course spring always has to play it's little hide and seek game around here but it can leave out the snow. My daughter has two grow lights in my shop loaded with plants to go out. we spent all last weekend putting top soil in a new flower bed for her. the warm weather went to our heads I guess. I know good and well it is still to early. You all know the sun will come out and it will be 70 degrees by the end of the day don't you? Well maybe not today. This storm looks pretty determined.

ARG! I have to drive into town to teach kidsquest! This is what my kids call a " blister" !

I'll take the blame- I was outside breaking ice all last week to finally see some dirt...... Should have known I was inviting disaster!

Oh so it's your fault!

Well if that's what invited all this chilly weather I guess I'm to blame too since I was sure that halfway through February would be a good time to start seeds and that a week and a half ago was a good time to bring out all of my planters and fill them with dirt. I even planted some of them and have been bringing them out during the day and back in at night. I don't think they are going out today though! A 40 degree high is not warm enough to set them out at all.

I didn't know that the weather imps would be offended by my trying to rush spring into existance! OK, now how do I appease the weather imps? Anyone?

*hangs head* then I am guilty also. Have been dumping manure, buying seed, grapes, strawberries......thinking about getting the trees drip going.

Penturner......you are right......mother nature teases us with warmer weather then *bam*, she

10 little chickies just left here.......they will have a good home.......but the brooder looks sooooo empty with only the couple (ok there are 5) left. I am torn between

and

. Did not even get a chance to take pictures, I was too lazy and suddenly someone wanted them. Well time to clean the bator and set more eggs I guess (maybe I will look into some black orps....hmmmmm).

self.......a bit of a break might be nice too. We shall see which side of me wins

quiet? We have parrots, the only time it is quiet is maybe at night and early morning - maybe

I do ponder not having chick dust for awhile
