Saturday was an absolutely beautiful day for gardening but I decided to go to a plant sale and visit nurseries to the north on that day. Sunday morning wasn't bad while I was at work but by the time I got home and was ready to garden, the wind whipped up, rain came in sideways, there was a flash of lightening and hail began pelting the windows.

Oh hail no, there would be no gardening done today other than potting up a few bulbs in the greenhouse.

Well, that was exciting but now it's time for spring. We're setting our clocks ahead an hour this weekend so the morning commute will, once again, be dark but on the bright side, there'll be an extra hour of daylight after the evening commute so I can get out and play in the garden during the week.

The hail stones were relatively small and didn't cause any plant damage, thank goodness.
Not as pretty as snow to be sure but at least this had the decency to melt quickly.

Did someone overdo the rock salt out there?
There's talk of highs in the sixties for a couple of days next week. Something to look forward to!
Let's get this spring thing underway!
