April showers bring May flowers...
I sure hope so. It has been a wet and cold April here in Southwestern Pa. Maybe May will bring the warm temperatures that all us gardening fools long for. I want to be able to go home from work and go outside to my yard and do my thing. I'm tired of looking at books and catalogs. I want to start doing instead of wishing.

What a beautiful weekend here in Southwestern Pennsylvania. It was sunny and warm. I had so much work to do outside. Of course, I started to many projects and finished none. I still have to transplant a lot of daffodils and lily that are growing on the side of the garage. I cut some of my holly tree branches off to keep them from rubbing the side of the house. Wanted to burn some of the yard waste, but didn't get to that until last night. I got a lot cleaned up, but more to do. Set out some of the planting pots so that the rain can wash off the dust and dirt. Its starting to rain here now, so I won't be able to get anything done tonight.

The sun is shining, the sun is shining!!!! Its a balmy 68 degrees today and I'm itching to get home from work to do something outside. I have some weeds that need pulled or maybe I'll gather up the dead branches that have fallen into the yard. I can't wait!!!

My fingers are itching to get dirty!!! Its been so cold here in the southwestern part of Pennsylvania this past week. The weather is getting warmer by the day and this weekend I can finally get outside and start to work in my gardens. My spring flowers are poking thru the soil, and some have been frostbitten. I need to tend to them. Keep ya posted!!!

BRRR! Where did the spring go? Here in southwestern Pennsylvania it has gone from low 70's earlier in the week to high 30's today. My daffodils have froze!! The gardening has been put on hold for the next few days because of the weather. Back to looking at the gardening books and planning. I have some more yard waste to clean up, but that too will have to wait. I'm not freezing my tootsies off!!!
