Crossing the Road
Oh yuck.. so sorry about all your fruit trees.@CapricornFarm, I just read about your furchild's passing. I am so terribly sorry. I know the pain you are feeling. They are in our lives such a short time but leave pawprints on our hearts forever. You did the only thing you could do, you gave him the final gift of love and released his sweet soul to run free with grace and dignity.
Good morning all.
I hate this weather!

And after. This is what we woke up to yesterday morning.

This morning it was 25°. No hope. I got most of my flowers that were up, lilies, iris, hostas, covered with anything I could find. Cardboard boxes, sheets of plastic drop cloth, etc but the trees? A few apple trees haven't bloomed yet so we may get a few apples if the blooms have survived closed. But they are calling for 27° again tonight and then a warming trend.
Needless to say I'm pretty discouraged at this point in time. So much going on in the world and country right now, I tend to escape it all by enjoying my 'outside' hobbies of gardening and such. Looking forward to the promise of fresh fruit is one of the summer highlights. Luckily I have only a few things planted in the garden so no losses there but the whole region is suffering from this cold right now so we aren't alone.
@CSolis, congratulations on that broody. I know you have been wanting one. Happy Hatching!
Me thinks it was @Peep_Show that lost her beloved..
And yes.. I'm so happy. Snowflake spent most of the day on the nest.. she was still there this morning at feed time and didn't come off the nest for treats... then Muffins wanted a turn which gave Snowflake a break... of course Lady was not to be outdone so she was on the nest as soon as Muffins was off... I'll be back out shortly to see if Snowflake resumes the floofy low profile she maintained yesterday. But then.... I have more chicks to deal with.. Ohhhhhhhhhhhh...
