Two weeks ago, with temps just above freezing and a foot of snow on the ground, we had:
- hail.
- ground fog.
- wind.
- pelting rain. Three inches of it.
- copious amounts of low-level lightning.
Ours was one of few houses *not* to flood, in a note of irony. (We’ve been fighting basement water for years.) Now I hear Minnesota’s been getting hit too, and there’s more coming. Jane, how are you?

It’s balmy and beautiful and springlike here. Can hardly believe our luck! Dry sunny days and planting going ahead as fast as stolen spare moments allow!
Still summer will be here soon, and it will rain for forty days and forty nights!!!

I’ve barely just begun to think about what planting season could entail. It’s still floating around what you call the depths of winter and we call the near edge of summer. ;~)
