It was 80 here today, and 80's for the next 3 more days, then chance of rain on Friday. I'm loving these 60 degree nights windows open and fresh air in the house!
Cute cute tractor and wagon, Sissy, and your fence is coming along great, Colleen. I used bleach/water to clean my deck before I re-sealed it with Thompson's Water Seal. It gets rid of the gray like Sissy said, and removes any mold, too. I was careful and only used a hand brush to apply it to my deck, didn't use a sprayer or anything like that. Then just let it dry before resealing.

Oh why is it when you finally do big project, then alcohol is consumed in large amounts with good friends by the pond, and fire was EXTRA BRIGHT! I had pre cut the old fence boards into little fire sized bites and oh that fire was warm!! Now I got the munchies and I have to work extra early. Must go to sleep soon... Summer is comming!!!

Very nice Colleen, and you're doing a great job on that fence.
There was supposed to be a meteor shower last night, but we received more snow so no meteors to be seen here.
Overall the depth of the snow here has gone down because the ground was warm enough to melt a lot of it as it fell.
We have about 6 inches on the ground here this morning.

Mid 70s here last couple of days so getting a lot of planting done. Watched the potatoes and beans come up in the garden while I was weeding! It was like one of those slow motion movies- one plant up and the ground cracked and then more plants poked thru. We got 4 hours of thunderstorms last night and temps in the 60s today and tomorrow so will work inside till the 80s get here on Thurs.

We got down to -5C/23F with a windchill of -12C/10F last night.
I see climate change is the news this morning as well.

What wicked winter weather we had today, it was a blowing blizzard of thick fluffy snow half the day, blizzard blew in early this morning, I must have time traveled back to March or something!! Climate change!!! Ya right, feels like a "mini ice age" is coming tonight, going down to well below freezing tonight!! (-4C) (23 F)
Frence project on hold today, too cold and mucky and I broke one shovel and the hole post maker, too many tree roots and stuff. At least the snow is all gone!! :)

burr, it feels like winter tonight, cold, damp, getting dark, no fun in no sun today, it was horrible day of cold wet blizzard. Moved all the plants back inside greenhouse tonight, supposed to freeze hard tonight. Have to cover up a few things too. Hopefully I do not have to scrap windshields tomorrow morning before work!
Should be nice by Friday so will be back at Yard work, my shoulder is sore from moving and dragging heavy fences around yard, but it was well worth the pain, so happy to have that old tick infested fence almost gone!

You are getting the winter freeze just like Mitch. Whoa is me I would be unhappy too. Just when you thought it was safe to rejoice the coming of warm Spring weather. Hold tight Colleen it can't be too long now...............can it? :(
