Beautiful weather today !

SharkE — Tue, 20 Feb 2024 19:11:53 GMT

75' !!! I put on my sunscreen and walk around my

ponderosa. Dug up a small shrub the rabbits had snacked on thru the winter.

Tidied up the yard, since never rains I watered the shrubs I got left. Rabbits won't gnaw on the established big ones !

Rare, we have low wind days and warm temps together.

Yes it is. It's 73° here today with light wind & sun.

This is pretty much how the weather was 48 yrs ago when we got married on the 28th. We will see how it is next week.

According to weather dot com we won't be seeing anymore freezing temperatures.

Getting out in the yard sounds wonderful!

Same here, beautiful day today here in Denver metro, sunny clear day 66 degrees, no wind.

We've had mostly a mild winter, these 60ish days are bringing on spring fever that's for sure.

Clocks change in less than 21 days so that'll help move things along.

Cold in the teens last night NYS...but big sun working on that.

My wild rabbits chew on the low stuff but never kills the bush...

they bounce right back from "bunny pruning".

Wow!! How nice to be able to have such a pleasant day!😁 If you can spare some of that wonderful weather, we could definitely use some in my neck of the woods!👍 It is DREARY here today- 53, occasional rain showers and breezy! Typical for the PNW this time of year.

ENJOY the remainder of your perfect spring like day!!!😊

Growing up in SF it was fog fog and more fog lol and feel your pain in the PNW.

Moving to Denver 25 years ago was a shock weather wise. Thought the winters would be horrible, they're much more bearable than a foggy cold goes through your jacket windy day at Candlestick Park at a July baseball game! Or walking across the Golden Gate bridge in the summer when tourists in town, forget it, so cold.

When I have the SF Giants on TV here in Denver, friends remark why is everyone wearing parkas at the game, it's July. I have to explain ha.

Plenty of sunshine and Vit D her in CT....unfortunately, it's only a "balmy" 35 degrees. Oh well, nothing new here in Feb.

No rabbits out and about either. However my bird feeder's been full of all kinds of birds...finches, cardinals, titmice, chickadees, bluejays, and today for the first time I saw a beautiful downy woodpecker.

It's going to be almost 80 here in Arizona. To soon, to soon. Fortunately it's going to cool off in a couple of days. Don't want summer anytime soon.

@rockygems123 I could not help but smile at your comparison of SF to PNW weather, because some days that is EXACTLY what it feels like.😊 I am quite familiar with the Bay Area. I called the Rocky mountain state home for several years, but the PNW called me back.❤ I do NOT miss the amount of snow in a heavy winter there, or treacherous summer hailstorms. Last summer was crazy!!!.😐

We get snow here, but nothing as sometimes polarizing as there.😊 It is SOOO beautiful unless you have the misfortune of having to venture out into it!😊

Mid-60s in Albuquerque. Feels like spring.

The yard was cleaned up and trimmed this morning so we're all ready for the new season.

But things change rapidly in these parts...

It is 77 in the Dallas area. Perfect day. Clear sky, barely a breeze. I have been walking around and around in the back yard. Feels so good.

Are you trying to make us feel bad? We won see that type of weather until May. It's bright and sunny today and I'm grateful for that but it's windy and in the low 30s.

I don't blame you. Arizona isn't a place I'd care to live.

Tx is semi-arid the Amarillo area. From what I know people

have no grass in yards, covered up in rock gravel and air

is really dry.

Gal I talked to one time said you do your shopping of the evening to avoid the heat. I'd be scared to get out at night

No place is perfect. this is where my dead husband wanted to move from Southern Ind to get away from snowstorms and ice. Now, looks like I'll die here too.

Correct. We don't have grass either. Only way to go. Don't want to do yard work from April to October plus grass is a waste of water. We had grass in our first house and hated every blade of it. Weeding, cutting, fertilizer, water. No thanks. I'll take rock any day.

I'm glad I made you smile with the Bay Area weather and PNW comparison, both are soggy lol. At least compared to bone dry Colorado.

So funny as we know where our "home" is, you went back to PNW and one week into being in Colorado I knew this was home even though I'm a native San Franciscan.

One of my favorite parts of living here is the summer thunderstorms and hail ha! Not great when it ruins your car but as you say like snow, it's nice from inside!
