What ever happened to summer? After weeks of weather in the 70s; everyone wearing tank tops and flip flops, its frigging cold! The radio said it was in the 20s when I left work this morning with threats of snow flurries today and tonight. It’s almost Easter, this is Alabama for Pete’s sake; it’s supposed to be warm and Good Friday is the traditional day to plant your garden. All the trees are budding, the fruit trees are in full bloom and now they’ll all get frost bitten and there go the fruit crops.
Cold or not, I’m off for the next few days and I’ve got tons of stuff to do. One of the need-to-dos is the yard but that’s gotta wait until the temp rises a few degrees. My new dog (that I rescued from the truck stop parking lot near work) has dragged home all the neighbors’ garbage. He doesn’t get in my trash, just collects stray shoes and clothing and cans from somewhere else and brings it to me. Maybe he thinks that I need more stuff or else it’s all supposed to be presents. Who knows what goes on in his adorable pointy little head?
I’m off now to find something warm to wear and maybe browse a few blogs while doing laundry. Maybe I’ll even visit a few of y’all.

it's starting to warm up a little here..but was freezing last night..weird weird weather..but as long as the sun is shining i'm ok...get some rest..what did you name the new pooch?
Not as bad as all that here in Baton Rouge. Cold nights and a few chilly days in the low 60's. Back into the 70's tomorrow with isolated T-storms. It's the bloomin' hail and tornadoes I could do without, what with living in an aluminum Coors can.
I got a kick out of the Good Friday comment. In Maine the traditional time for putting in the garden is Memorial Day!
