Hah! I'll soon be watching desperately for the faintest hope of a sign of spring coming some day, like pussywillow buds swelling or the young maple stems turning red.

I should bring some willow branches in and coax them to open.

spruce · 11th February 2018, 08:58 PM

indoor spring doesn't count.

borealis · 12th February 2018, 12:38 AM

Yes it does.

It can give you the will to live until real spring.

Majiffy · 12th February 2018, 01:39 AM

Got a lot of snow. Then rain. Now it's below freezing. So I assume my car doors will be covered in an inch of ice in the morning.

borealis · 12th February 2018, 02:07 AM

No snow. Just rain.

spruce · 12th February 2018, 02:24 AM

Yeah, that's what I got, rain and flower petals.

borealis · 12th February 2018, 02:40 AM

Flower petals...

borealis · 12th February 2018, 02:42 AM

I bet you have a gardenia growing in your garden too. I would love to smell a gardenia right now.

spruce · 12th February 2018, 03:35 AM

Yes, but mostly I'm showered in pink petals from a winter-blooming flowering plum tree. We're the only yard anywhere around that has flowers blooming all year round like especially right now.

Zeluvia · 12th February 2018, 03:51 AM

My plum tree is nearly dead from confusion. It bloomed last week, and it froze overnight last night, so I don't know if the blooms will stick. It was a light freeze.

But this constant weather confusion over the past few years has whittled the poor thing down to two sad live branches.

borealis · 12th February 2018, 03:55 AM

I have an envy.

You know, I haven't even seen a gardenia in maybe 30 years.

spruce · 12th February 2018, 02:18 PM

But you get to be surrounded by snowcritters, snowangels, direwolf cubbies, blue-fire ice zombie dragons, and the occasional rebel sigil house of penis-cutter-offers.

All I gotta say right now is the winter rains had better not be fucking done yet.

Also, I'm gonna start some seeds this week.

I'm jealous of your starting seeds.

Also, been using hay bales as the growing medium the past couple of years, it's great no weeding or bending. So this year I'm trying something new because planting seeds in hay bales is a pain. So I've been saving the toilet paper cardboard roll and will insert them in the bale with some organic matter as my seed starter. An excellent way of plant spacing and not having to spread a layer of dirt on the top of the bale, which does attract weeds.

the front went through in probably less than half an hour then it was all over

SR71 · 14th February 2018, 04:50 AM

Are your lights still on? We had a derecho a couple years ago that had power out for a week.

spruce · 14th February 2018, 05:52 AM

But the witch lived,

MSG · 14th February 2018, 07:59 AM

nary a flicker

Brother Daniel · 15th February 2018, 04:35 PM

6 C (that's about 43 F). With sunshine.

That's insanely warm for February.

(Someone told me there's gonna be 70cm of snow in a few days. So back to normal?)

Imp · 15th February 2018, 05:41 PM

It's 6 C here right now and it sucks what're you even on about
