Vamped Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 It was 70 degrees yesterday .... there's supposed to be light snow Sunday 1
wacky1980 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 i just need the frost to leave the ground so we can bring in the plumber for our venue. he won't cut thru the alley and tap the water/sewer until the frost is out. at this rate, it won't ever happen. 1

She got one big area totally cleaned off the other day. It was supposed to be our outdoor kitchen area, but will now be used as a gardening prep area. Complete with work tables and everything else she needs. 2
wacky1980 Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 see, that's what every backyard needs. a place to create and build and grow. especially if there's kids in the mix. i was just reading a study (but it's just one study! i get that) saying people who are more exposed to green and growing stuff as children tend to suffer from significantly less depression and anxiety as adults. 1 1

I have heard that too. And our boy loves being outside. We have three fountains in the backyard. Each with a pool. One with a bridge you can walk over. We have a huge patio, complete with electricity. We have several shops. One we are looking to expand, since it has water hook ups. We will be breaking ground for the garden soon too. We want to try making wine this summer, since we do have a small, very very small vineyard. 2

Doom Metal Alchemist Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 8 minutes ago, 🍬Candy🍬 said: What? Lol ive never heard of such a thing. U telling me there's TWO springs bitch The division of the seasons seems arbitrary to me. Here, it always seems like fall is only like a month long (late October/early Novmber to Early December). This year fall started in I want to say late September (which I guess is abnormally normal), and then winter happened when it usually did... but then it got even COLDER for practically the entire month of February. I don't think I've ever experienced that before. February was practically "super winter" here. (super winter in comparison to normal winter here, all you non-Californians would laugh at me calling this super winter). Finally this past week it's starting to warm up. I get out of work at 4:30 AM, and finally there's no longer any frost or fog on my car windshield when I get out of work. It's still raining though, which is weird. 1

garbagepailcat Posted February 28, 2019 Posted February 28, 2019 It finally stopped raining long enough to get out in the yard this past weekend. Did a bunch of weed pulling and brush clearing. This yard hasn’t been tended in years and is ROUGH, but I’ve got a little garden spot that’s ready to be tilled and another spot ready for my chicken coop. 👌🏻 Come up here and show me your ways. 😅 1

Our flowers and trees started blooming a few weeks ago. Pollen is everywhere. Lots of rain. Our weather is crazy right now. Last week was a roller coaster. 50 degrees one day, then the very next day it was in the 80's. It kept going like that for a week. When we went to Savannah last Friday, we left in long sleeves because it was frigid. By lunch time, we had the air conditioner on in the car.

Fun update on this - Beggar bun-bun who transformed into Fatty bun-bun at some point last night / this morning turned into 'I-killed-the-dinosaurs' bun-bun. He got too heavy for the snow crust while pigging out on sunflower seeds and cratered into the drift. He's safe somewhere under the junipers right now but I wish I had been awake to see it. Judging by the explosive damage, he really spazzed his way out of there. I need to go outside and waffle stomp the area into a safe windbreak now and refill the feeder for the birds who are starting to line up outside my window looking for pity. 1
