There's Always The Weather

The foretasted rain of a few weeks ago evaporated before it made it here.

Now "they" are predicting rain late Friday - Saturday.

Another El Ninozilla wash out or some real wet. We'll see.

My sweet shelling peas are taller and thicker than in previous years

with lots of white flowers. Apricots are ripening.

Plum and Pecan trees are just beginning to break bud.

How has this marvelous Spring been treating the more Snow Prone?

Any April Snow Storms to report? Do tell, and don't spare the details .

Called up to a friend in my old Idaho home town. Last cold front brought 1.5 inches of rain - a daily record. She said that all rivers in Idaho were in flood stage.

Here in Utah it has been the fifth wettest March on record. I have learned that the difference between dismal, overcast, snow or rain and beautiful, sunny with some cumulus clouds for artistic effect is 24 hrs.

A trace of rain last night and maybe more around Thursday. What La Nina?

Now it is windy and it is going to remain windy for a day or three.

The Sweet Shelling Peas are over 6' tall. Beyond my ability to support them but they seem to be doing well on their own.

Some flowers and some pods ripening. They have never grown like this before.

Some Asparagus but, not that many. This is about the fifth year for my Asparagus patch.

Corn has sprouted some time ago but, it probably remains too cool for its' preference.

The Boysenberry and Fuji Apple are blossoming. The Loquats are almost finished and the Pecan tree is breaking bud.

Royal Apricots are about 1/8" and I continue to live capture squirrels and rats, moving them to a more wild area.

And that's the weather and garden report.

Any late snow in the snow belt?

Please share.

Friday it was freezing all day(That's around 32F for y'all in 0 centigrades)

Saturday it was 60F,

Sunday it was 70F

Today it is 75F

Wednesday night is predicted to be 36F.

Temperature shifts like that means April rain storms.

We just had a really good gully-washer here.

Snowing in Minneapolis right now. Expecting up to 2 inches in affected areas. It will be gone in a day or so as the weather warms back into the 50s and 60s.
