Spring is a Comin'!

Susan Louise — Thu, 05 Mar 2015 00:58:39 GMT

I just looked at our extended forecast...

After one more day in the high 30's here, we will then have temps between 53-68 over the next 10 days! And, this weekend, don't forget to 'Spring Ahead' one hour...WOOT!

I might just get a head start of cleaning the garage and removing some debris out of the gardens this weekend

We just have to make it to Friday, then we start to climb. It's really cold out now, going down to -15 tonight. Friday goes up to 34, then everyday gets a little warmer until it hits 50 next Wednesday. Then it levels off around 40. It's very exciting. We haven't had an abundance of snow, but had a lot of days under 0. Happy spring.

We just put our house up for sale so I'm hoping for the nicer weather to get people out here to take a look!

High of 27 expected here today, then a gradual warming starts, highs of 63-64 by next Wednesday. So happy Spring is on the way!

Yea? Well, looking outside today at the snow falling, I'll believe it when I see it... Don't get me wrong, I like winter and I like snow in reasonable amounts, but what I'm fully fed up with is the reality that in my area, we never seem to get winter in December or January, oh now, it always hits when it should be wrapping up.

We've had nearly a foot of snow in the last week. Yes, we had some days in the 60's in between but I still have snow on the ground from yesterday lol.

Susan, your gardens are beautiful, I saw the photos in another thread. I really like the brick edging and the 10' tall trellis that beans (?) climb on. Do hummingbirds go for the beans or the blossoms? My gardens are all in the shade; so jealous of your all-sun garden!

Gosh, I hope so. I'm sitting here with my space heater running because I am so cold. It's dropped to 15 degrees and is going down to minus 10 tonight!!! Seriously, minus 10 ?!?

I don't like that daylight savings time is so early this year. It has not even started to be light out when I drive in to the office at 5:30 am yet. It used to be that I would have a week or two when it was getting light out.

We had a high of 81 degrees yesterday, it is now 42, that is right at a 40 degrees difference!!!

The warm air is creeping northward for sure. We will enjoy that spring weather also, starting tomorrow and going up in temps the next few days. The birds are happily building many nests or reinforcing their current ones in the many bird houses I have up. One sparrow family is building in one of the bird feeders I did not use this winter. I am afraid it will be too hot for thier family, as it is on a south side. Guess they know what they are doing.

At this point, I have become numb so, if it just gets in the 30's and stays there, I would be thrilled! lol

Hi ValuSkr,

Yes, the Hummingbirds feed on the nectar in the blossoms...they also love perching in the vines and defending the vines as their own from other Hummers...very highly prized by the hummingbirds! During the peak of the Fall migrating season here, several hummers will defend particular sections of our 10' trellis as their own...lol

The hummers hear the angels singing when they are surrounded by the blooms...

Sip the sweet juice...

Re: Spring is a Comin'!

Susan Louise — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 07:14:04 GMT

And relax...perched comfortably on the shaded vines...also to watch/defend their new found food supply...

Susan Louise — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 07:17:36 GMT

Then there is the sit and slurp...

Re: Spring is a Comin'!

Susan Louise — Fri, 06 Mar 2015 07:19:00 GMT

And relax, rest, but stand guard and defend!
