All. Day. Long.

I am partially done with my front landscaping. I was hopeful in having the opportunity to complete it tomorrow. However, this is what I found.


Tomorrows Forecast:

Friday:
Showers likely and possibly a thunderstorm before 2pm, then showers and thunderstorms likely after 2pm. Cloudy, with a high near 50. East wind around 15 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New rainfall amounts between a quarter and half of an inch possible.

Rain before 2pm... likely.
Rain after 2 pm.....likely.

Seriously, why can't they just say, "Rain Likely ALL.DAY.LONG!!!

Really.....

You have got to be kidding me.......

It is March 30th, 2 days away from April. Is is seriously snowing outside? REALLY?? I am ready for sunshine and sandals, flowers and fun, gardening and grooming. I think Mother Nature has forgotten to turn her calendar.

I am contemplating our garden plans for this summer. I am anxious to get my hands all dirty and grimy. This year, I am wanting to try my hand at growing our own lettuce along with the usual peppers, tomatoes and blueberries (If my bushes can be revived). What are your summer vegetation plans?
