Oh hail no, there would be no gardening done today other than potting up a few bulbs in the greenhouse.
The hail stones were relatively small and didn't cause any plant damage, thank goodness.
Not as pretty as snow to be sure but at least this had the decency to melt quickly.
Well, that was exciting but now it's time for spring. We're setting our clocks ahead an hour this weekend so the morning commute will, once again, be dark but on the bright side, there'll be an extra hour of daylight after the evening commute so I can get out and play in the garden during the week.
Did someone overdo the rock salt out there?
There's talk of highs in the sixties for a couple of days next week. Something to look forward to!
Let's get this spring thing underway!
All hail broke loose about halftime at the soccer game on Sunday, although in Seattle I think it was mostly a downpour of rain. Some of us were fortunate to heve seats under cover.
ReplyDeleteI am ready for some warmer days!
Yikes! Mother Nature is really in a mood, isn't she? I was bummed out yesterday when I heard we're switching to daylight savings time this coming weekend.
ReplyDeleteA rose with hail... that is just wrong!
ReplyDeleteI love how the hail outlined the stones in your path, that's pretty cool. I look forward to the clocks changing this weekend for the same reasons as you, more daylight later in the day, but it will be a bummer to be dark again in the morning. Ah well, as Steven Wright used to say, "You can't have everything, where would you put it?"
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. TOG, you are trying to outdo me with winter weather .. you can not DO THAT ! .. I just posted what I woke up to this morning so go have another peek at where my sanity levels must be by now (yes we did have that conversation ! LOL) .. I agree with chavliness .. a rose with hail ? IS JUST WRONG ! .. but ? it could always be worse , right ?
ReplyDeleteNo matter what you will be out there again doing the mad gardener bit my friend .. so steady on ! LOL
That is big hail! Crazy weather just seems to keep on coming.
ReplyDeleteLight after dinner to play in the garden - yay!
ReplyDeleteWow, no hail here, thank goodness. Personally I am thrilled at DST and the forecast high temperatures. Bring it on!!!
ReplyDeleteThose little balls of ice nestled in every crevice. Brrrrr they make it look cold there. I too am looking forward to some longer days and warmer.
ReplyDeleteLooks like someone was throwing handfuls of gravel around your garden.
