So, while the Midlands and further north--apparently---get their snow, in the south is like a summers day. A good month for the kids to also have nearly 3 weeks off school. Wonder if the teachers got them too? Edited by: Paul Hilton at:20th April 2011 07:41 |

Our trees in mid-Michigan should be leafed-out by now but they are barely showing signs of budding this late in April. What a Spring! |

Nasty! The rain is lashing against the windows, but I won't grumble about the rain, as we get so little of it here in the desert. |
Diana Sinclair Posts: 10119 Joined: 3rd Apr 2008 Location: USA | Posted at 13:25 on 21st April 2011 It lovely and sunny here and it's suppose to hit 55 degrees today. Unfortunately, I was still sick yesterday when I had to go out on my job interview and it was a nasty, cold day, so today I am feeling worse! Too bad, because it's been 4 days since I've been able to get out and I miss my walks. |

Only in the 55F range and very, very windy always. Had to take my wind chimes down so they didn't blow away. We had a nice day yesterday and I was able to start digging in the garden, but spring flowers are very slow to bloom. (Diana, Your cat looks just like my Cloe). |

I can't remember when last we had such a long period of overcast, rainy, cold weather. I'm really looking forward to some sun now, hope it won't be long in coming! |
