What is your weather like ... today

[mtpond]

Four days ago I had no snow in my yard. Then it started to snow and it accumulated really fast for the first two days. It has been warming up enough that the snow is melting but not fast enough for me. This next week the extended forcast is chance of rain and highs in the 50's. Heres a few pics of my pond the last couple of days.

First picture was morning of the 22nd and then the next one was when I got home from work that day.

We had a very light dusting of snow two days ago in Smith River, which is very unusual in this area. We are right on the coast of Northern California. Yesterday, sunny, today rain and more to come.... 46 degrees.

 

[sissy]

well rain has stopped and sun is trying to peek out and say hello and it is already up to 70 degrees

43 and sun is trying to come out but its over cast to much. Saw a blue bird today, hope thats a good sign that warmer weather is definitely heading our way.

 

[sissy]

well it did not last long black clouds again and thunder and lightening and raining again real hard .

4:30pm here and bright and sunny. Was warm enough today to go sleeveless while working in the yard. Must have been 60F or so!
Weird how you all back in the mid-west and East are now having the bad weather and us the nice stuff. Pruned some Knockout rose bushes and trimmed the Climbing Hydrangea..............man that thing was trying to take over our house. It attaches it's little roots to the house so it can climb better. It's supposed to be on the trellis thingy only so I'll have to keep a better eye on that sucker!

Sissy, those are some beautiful pics of your place! That's a BUNCH of rock! OMG. I put down 2 truckloads of mulch today, and that was enough for me, and you did what did you say 8 loads or something like that? It looks beautiful! I loved your bird houses and your mailbox, is that a birdhouse, too? Very cute! Your fences are really nice, too. Really enjoyed the pictures.
MtPond, keep your chin up, spring will arrive soon! It got up to 70 or so today, sunny most of the day, but ground is saturated with the recent rains so didn't do any digging or mowing today. Tomorrow, planning to start digging early. When I get tired, I'll ride my mower and mow the grass to rest.
JW, glad you're getting some nicer weather! And, hmm ... your "treatment" worked so you better start bottling that stuff and selling it!

Sissy you have a beautiful home. Your fencing is very nice along with all of your landscaping.

8 truckloads of 2 cubic yards each and the mail box was to small and figured it would make a good bird house I will go monday and pick up more mulch .All the rock I moved with my trusty red lawn mower and cart 18 tons of rock each time and got 4 truckloads .The fence is not finished yet but getting closer .I go get 3 truckloads a day and spread it and helped my neighbor do hers too .This rain has slowed down everything .Hopefully it will stop tonight so the yard has a chance to dry out to get more done .I worked in my shop for awhile but the storm put a halt to that

Sissy, you are one hard working lady, that's all I can say!!!
Overcast still this morning, but 60 degrees. Sun is supposed to shine today, and get up to 70 so that will be just peachy. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend!

 

[sissy]

Still cloudy here to and a few small showers .Now wondering if I will be able to even get mulch tomorrow as the ground there may be too wet and the ground here might be to wet to drive my lawn mower and cart on .I don't want to mush the grass down .I thought that they said only rain early this morning but it still is foggy and still looks like rain is coming and it is 10:30 already .We do need the rain so guess I should not be complaining as I 'm sure once summer gets here I will be praying for some rain and a little cool down .

Wow and hallelujah it's sunny here again today! Gonna get out and lower my duckweed tub down lower into the soil. Don't like the way it looks w/ liner hanging over the edge. Will put rocks around the edge and make it look decent.

That treatment of keeping the raccoons from digging I think it's really working. Just a few little digs this morning but not thrown all over like before. Thing is tho what happens when it rains? Hmmmmmmmmmmm, this could have to become a constant thing at least until they think we have damaged grounds and move on! DH refused to go out there and contribute,lol so I'm on my own! Maybe I could ask guests to contribute to the project..............I could also go door to door
Wonder if it would work on mole hills?

 

[CountryEscape]

LMAO, ... asking neighbors to contribute! OMG!!! Now, if someone begins reading about your raccoon deterrent now, they will think, "How has JW figured out how to keep them away?" All I can say is ... read more of the previous posts on this thread. So, if your DH is not contributing, are you telling me you are the only contributor so far? Come on, tell us how you are collecting and distributing your deterrent!
I finally got my yard mowed tonight. Wow, was it tall! Had to raise the mower deck, and since I always mow high anyhow, my lawn sweeper did not want to cooperate very well with sweeping it up. My horses whinny and paw at the ground as I drive by with the sweeper, they know they get some of it. I spread it out for them so they have to pick it up, at least then they don't get big mouthfuls at a time and get sick. Never have had a problem. Now I'll need to mow again by weekend, and hopefully then I can drop the deck a notch or two to get it back where it needs to be. My stupid neighbor mowed one pass on my side of the road, where I mow 4 passes. He did this all last year, and I thought I told him not to. When I called his wife and said she should tell him "in a very nice way" to not mow my ditch, she said, "How come?" Well, duh ... it looks like I mowed 1/4 of my ditch and my mower quit, that's why! AND, he mows at least an inch shorter than I do, too. And, when he mows the ditch, he keep blowing it onto the road. How stupid is that? When the roads are hot, and the oil is at the surface, that grass sticks there. Kind of like mulching the road. LOL He's not too bright, can you tell? Anyhow, hopefully that strip won't get mowed twice as many times this summer. They are just not very bright, but I hope I got my point across. We shall see ....
