On no snow tomorrow! How is your Spring?

[Awol cast iron stomach]

How is your spring? My tulips and daffodils just began to bloom this week and now we are due for snow here in the Midwest tomrrow. How is your gorgeous weather? How do you enjoy your Spring? Gardening, exercise, hiking etc. 

Share if you like.?

We have a full bloom going on our rose bush...not sure what kind it is, but it finally warmed up in Northern California (but it's probably not cold compared to there!).

Sounds beautiful. Thanks for sharing ?

Spring is quickly departing and we are heading into summer here in Southern California.  My daffodils, freesias,  and iris are long gone.  Some Camilla bushes are still in bloom.  My fruit trees (apricot, Valencia orange, lemon and plum) have stopped blooming and already have fruit growing.  I should have tomatoes in a few weeks if we get fewer classic May Gray or June Gloom (ocean breeze weather pattern) cloudy days.    I spent many hours this spring weeding.  The winter rain helped my fruit trees after years of drought but also helped the weeds to germinate.  

I can ride my bike without arm warmers or a vest/jacket.  But that means riding with sunscreen slathered on.  I bought some “sun” arm sleeves and hope this will reduce my use of sunscreen but I am not sure if I will get too hot.  Short rides are around town to the pool or market.

I used to live in San Clemente and then Laguna Niguel when I was a kid and have great memories from down there.

Around here (SE Ohio), The dorkydills are mostly done blooming.  The Red buds are blooming and the trilliums in one spot along SR 690 that I always check for them in spring.  Some pears are starting little fruits but some haven't bloomed yet too.  Tree leaves are out though and I mowed grass for the first time last week.

My ducks are getting bigger and have their baby feathers now.  They grow fast.  Several more weeks and they'll molt and get their adult feathers on.

My brother Johnny is preparing his garden area now.  He won't start planting anything until Mother's Day though.  That is usually the last frost date.

Do you eat duck eggs? I get issues when I eat chicken eggs too often, so I get duck eggs are our farmer's market.

Hi Scott,

I've eaten duck eggs in the past and didn't get sick.  So I suppose they are ok for me.  But then again I eat chicken eggs with no problem either.  My ducks probably won't start laying for another month or two.

I had car wreck today so may not be on much for a few days.  Got some neck pain and such like but nothing major.  Doc said to take it easy for a couple days though.

Oh no! Get well and sorry to hear about the accident.

Feel better fast!

Thanks you two, I hope to do that!
