Odd Winter

We've having an odd winter. Springtime weather one day, below freezing the next. The moss growing on our back patio wall doesn't know what to do. And I certainly don't have the heart to power wash it off. Right now it's the only thing bright and cheerful in our backyard.


I try to enjoy the flip flopping. I try to get outside and take pictures and soak up the sun. It's better than sleet, that's for sure. But at the same time, it's like, "Can we just skip ahead to the end of March? K. Thanks."

Yep, me too... I'm all for skipping ahead to March.

It's been the same way in Pittsburgh. Snow on the ground Sunday, high of 60 degrees on Monday. It's so weird.

I'm in Kansas and I agree, this weather is nuts! I hope my perennials survive all of the freezing and thawing.

I haven't commented in awhile and I want to say how beautiful your baby girl is and how much I love your new hair-do.

Weather wild here in the southeast too. Days of drizzle, sometimes penetratingly cold, other times humid/warm. Lots of green stuff growing here, and not the leafy kind. I wouldn't mind a very cold snap to get into winter and over with it and then, spring!

We were having a weird winter too - 40 degrees in January in Minnesota - and no snow! Then it turned to minus 6 with a dusting of snow, 600 car accidents in one day...back to normal. I'm with you - just trying to enjoy it either way.

Yep, its kind of weird weather here in Georgia too. My jonquils are already popping up! A bit of sunshine in my otherwise gloomy garden, but way too early. I'm like you...lets just fast forward to May, please.

The only problem with skipping to March means we will being bug heaven come this summer. Not good!

We're having a bit of an unusual Winter here in Southern West Virginia as well and I'm loving that it's felt more like Spring than the frozen tundra it normally is in January. Skipping ahead to March sounds like a brilliant idea to me!
