Spring Has Sprung

Kachina624 — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 00:25:12 GMT

It was a beautiful, windless, warm spring day today in the Albuquerque area....78°. The trees are budding and rose bushes busting out with new growth. It's tempting to start planting but way too early as we could easily still have freezing weather.

What's going on in your corner of the world?

Same here @Kachina624 Oh my goodness, I can’t remember when I have ever seen the desert looking more lush with a pretty green carpet and wild flowers everywhere. 🌸🌱🌺🌱🌸. Cool temps and lots of rain have brought forth this beauty that I didn’t realize the desert was capable of ! 🥰

It reached 50 here in the midwest. It was very windy, 35 mph gusts. First 50 in 2019, but I doubt it will last. Yesterday barely got to 40. Nothing is alive outside. Still a tiny bit of snow around. By the end of April, grass will start looking alive.

Triggered a memory of a set of Burma-Dhave signs, anyone remember those?

Pittsburgh area, high 50's and sunny. Always great to see the sun, it was such a gray and wet winter. Spring is slowly creeping in. We'll still have some cold weather, and maybe even snow (I hope not), but it's starting to smell like Spring!

@Kachina624 Daffodils have been out in VA ,🌼🌸now trees and bushes are blooming BUT we have had frost the past few mornings. 🙁

It’s a shame to see them turn brown!

I had to cut grass in my dog fence 🐶🐶 and one section near the driveway.

With all the rain it really grows.I have a yard service for cutting and leaves so just use a weed eater to touch up.

Tomorrow will be warmer and the dogs can enjoy the sun in a weed free fence.🌞🌸🌼🌻

we have been pretty much out of spring yet.

have only had 2 days above 60 beginning of march. Nothing really is budding as of yet. We are really below normal temp wise as of yet.

suppose to warm up by friday for 2 days then more rain and back to reality of cold weather again. Down to 30’s nite, 50’s during day. Still jacket weather.

furnace is still running at night. Very cold low 30’s the past 2 days.

I found out the hard way last week when the temps were in the 70's and I planted some of my roses and hibiscus plants...lo and behold this week we had rain and 2 days in the 60 in South Georgia...at least my Hostas are springing back!

It's 39 degrees in Pennsylvania right now. Will go below freezing for the next few nights, then temps jump up and down for awhile. Up to 70 this Saturday, then down to 40 the next day.

Not much sun for the next 1 1/2 weeks. A few days of rain. Typical

early Spring weather in PA. Might still see snow.

@Kachina624 I seen on news New Mexico was in for rain think it was later on. Suppose to be in 80's here Thurs. Then, over weekend in 50's and freezing at night still. in 70's today, hubbo broke out the mower. LOL

Re: Spring Has Sprung

Kachina624 — Thu, 28 Mar 2019 02:52:21 GMT

@SharkE. When you hear rain for New Mexico, it is rarely the Albuquerque area. The air is too dry for rain; I think what you heard was for SE part of state.

can't remember what the weather man was saying. Just thought about you !

The screen he was pointing to was an area of green and saying it was moving my way.

68 today in beautiful Santa Fe. 70 tomorrow. I think the worst is over and spring is here. I too saw trees and plants budding today.

@Kachina624 , just barely above freezing here (Nova Scotia) during the day and dipping at night still. It got cold early last Fall and stayed that way since. No sign of life here yet. No crocus or daffodils. I have begun some garden clean up but it is slow. Rain this weekend will probably take away the last of the stubborn snow in shady spots. 78 sounds pretty good to me! LM

@Lilysmom. I'd hate to live where winter stays around so long. You get to a point where enough is enough and you're ready to move on. Did you get you winter project quilt finished? You can't plant flowers until the quilt is finished. About this time I used to assure mother that winter was over. She'd say, "if you think winter is over, you're crazy". She was always right.

@Kachina624 , I am working on the border now. I have to go all around the edges to do the last of the quilting and finish the binding. I took on the job of going through every closet, storage space and garage this winter so I am behind on my quilting. What a job. I am on a first name basis with the guys at the donation bin lol.

I am pondering putting the quilt away until Fall. This is such a busy time. I am losing interest as the days get warmer. I will post a few pictures soon. It is a very cheerful beachy pattern. I don’t like not finishing projects before I move onto the next thing so there is a chance it will get finished. LM

Metro-DC area here. Warm enough that the cherry blossoms in DC are scheduled to bloom earlier than predicted by a day or two. Should be warm enough for those inclined to head down to DC and behold the glory of the cherry blossoms around the tidal basin. A signt to behold, for sure!

@Kachina624

The other day we hit 81, but now our weather here is similar to yours.....75....but things are about to change...A cool front moving in with some rain and then temps in 50's for the high, mid 40's for the low....We need rain!!!...

As much as I love seeing all the beautiful flowers and trees in bloom, I do like the cool weather to last as long as possible.....Summer is long enough already and will be here before we in Texas know it...
