Sitting with a cup of coffee. (coffee lovers)

[COLOR=008000]Spring 17 days 00 hours 00minutes[/COLOR] :weee
Bah, Humbug! :rant :caf OK I'm better now.
OK Sourland, but after falling and slipping 3 times this last bad snow and ice, and our driveway still over 50% ice, I say: [COLOR=008000]Yeah SPRING! Bring it on![/COLOR]
I love heat, adore it..... But do you think it will ever actually show up? We already had three days of spring, but now I think we are having fall. Crazy weather this year.

NO! Single digits, snow up to my knees - I should be seeing sprouting daffodils. Spring has been canceled.

OK, where is the " I am a crazy chicken person, please hold my hand since I am getting WAY more chicks than I have space for (without some cramming and quick building that has been declared illegal by spouse) but I am so excited about the new breeds I will be trying, as well as incubating shipped eggs for the first time"

(Have incubated, but never shipped eggs)

It is illegal! Hot strong and black are the three requirements for coffee. Anything else will get you thrown in jail. Do not pass go, Do not collect $200.

Where's the jail and will they let me continue putting unhealthy amounts of sugar (or honey) and half&half in my coffee????

DST already? Oh, boy, that's almost adding insult to injury. The powers-that-be in the local school system decided that the way to make up for all the days that were missed due to the icy weather in Jan/Feb is to add a bit to each school day, instead of adding whole days. For the entire month of March, the kids are to arrive at school 15 minutes earlier, and they will stay 15 minutes longer than the "normal" school day. So I get one week to get used to the new schedule, then I get three of weeks with DST, then (apparently) I get to reset for the old schedule on DST.

Is it June yet?

That's silly, it's not like they're adding actual class time for the kids to be able to do the work they're behind in!!!
Am I missing something?

This is how it is when I drink coffee.

I saw an recent article on DST and many countries that used to use it have stopped. Now its mostly just US Canada and Europe. Wish we would. Yep pick one!
barnie.gif

I had no idea! I wish we'd stop too!!!
 
Our last frost is early as third week of April and as late as the 3rd week of May. Usually. But like you said if it comes early and you plant you're sure to get the cold snowy weather. I guess once it did snow here in June but I wasn't around for that. Our forcast for the next 3 weeks looks good down here once we get past this week. I hope you warm up soon too!



HELP I'VE FALLEN AND I CAN'T GET UP!

No way winter, you can just fade away for all I care!
Great pic!
Did you do that????

Our average last frost is March 15. We may get a killing frost until about the first week of April. That ia what the gardeners and peach growers fear here. The trees bloom and a frost comes along and kills the buds and tender plants.
I hate it when that happens!!!

(fake spring) Ugh!
-31 F Here this morning, again, REALLY????

They didn't even bother to close or delay schools this morning

Glad to hear all is well with you!

I am so tempted to post "see, I told you so" before-and-after pictures. Hubby and I have a standing joke about our last frost date being "just after the tulip trees bloom." It looks like it might be just a touch early this year. There's a big tulip tree that I pass coming and going from the horse farm; it wasn't too badly damaged by the ice storm a couple of weeks ago. This morning I noticed a few of the big pink buds on it had opened; it would likely be in full bloom by the weekend. With a forecast of freezing rain and a low of 25o tonight, I expect the flowers will be limp brown rags tomorrow.
Is what you're calling a "tulip tree" the same as a Japanese Magnolia?

Bah, Humbug!
