Fooled again

Last week we had temperatures in a range up to, believe it or not, as high as 17c. The last two nights nature turned nasty and dumped about a foot of snow on us, the robin is not amused..





Where did the spring go!

Hope your spring catches up with my spring, Eric. Lisa is out on the cat porch making friends with the resident pair of Ruby Throated Hummingbirds. Oh, and being cuddled and mauled by the two outsider Girl Kitties. I'm taking a break from Residental Landscape Technician duties. Life is tuff. Still, spring is here ..... coming your way my Friend. Take care.

Well, Eric, we both saw robins this week. But atleast there is no snow where we are visiting our daughter in Delaware. It was even in the 60s today! :~D

Hello Eric
I hope you are having better weather at this time.
We have a snowstorm here today!
Have had more snow in spring than the all of winter, but we really need the moisture.

Hope you & Elizabeth are doing well.

I am taking a break from blogging.
Just too many things I need to tend to right now and I need to give all my effort to them.
I probably will need surgery on my knee as I have a minicius tear.
Plus I have a sore hand from a fall I took on some ice in Jan.
But am going for physical therapy first, to see if that might help (with my knee)
I start the therapy next week on both my knee & hand.

Take care, Eric.

All my best to you!

Margie

That was my question too. We had 80 degrees and in the last few weekends it's just been snow and snow and hail and rain and sleet and snow and snow.....

Eric Valentine said...

Hello Margie,

I am sorry to hear of the bad news. We will miss you in the blogs but do hope that one day you will come back.

In reference to your health troubles, I really don't envy you having to go through all that.
Hopefully the surgery can be avoided unless it is for the best.

We have a friend who had both her knees done last year. With rehab she is doing fine and now you wouldn't even know she was in.

Do try and look after yourself and stay well, life is too short to be out of the race.. :)

Eric Valentine said...

Hi Z, at last the weather has picked again. Today and yesterday we had temps around 22c ... much better :)
