Frost And Ticks

This morning, we woke up to frost. It was 33F when the kids left for school. Really? I mean, come on, we're into the second week of May!!!

Yesterday, I fortunately only planted three annuals which had to be covered before I went to bed. It had been sunny and warm, though a bit windy. Thankfully, a friend warned me in advance!!!

Driving to a cookout and Bible Study, late yesterday afternoon, I found a tick crawling around on my neck! What a creeper! I call them "perverted parasites" because of the places I've found them on me and the kids! --LKR

What Happened to April Showers?

If April showers bring May flowers, what will snow storms bring? Many of us in northern Wisconsin are left wondering.

Hayward, WI received at least 11 inches of snow, yesterday, with a snow advisory still in effect 'til later this evening. Here in Eau Claire, we only had enough to cover up any signs of spring.

Not that any of this is going to last, but when you are looking forward to something and it gets delayed, it can be a bit disheartening.

Mother Nature, after all, should not be tossing snowflakes and hurling hail at us, this time of year! It's just not in compliance with the laws of the land many of us would like to believe exists. Hummm--and some scientists still believe we have global warming? I think not!
