A LITTLE UPDATE.

   In my last post, that was too long ago, I wrote about a serious snow storm that we had.

    Now six days later we had a high temp of 30 C (88 F)! That's what it's like here...extremes. I'm tearing down my fence and worked the whole afternoon which wasn't a good plan.

   Today about 3:30 Pm we had a very heavy thunderstorm. There were very high winds. The rain was blown like snow. Our intersection flooded like it always does. We probably had about one inch of rain. We needed the moisture as it's very dry here.

    So anybody want to guess what might happen in the next six days.

  4. Good grief! I didn't realize Canada was a country of such constant extremes. I thought Chicago was bad with a late snow possible in April.

  20. I think I have noted this year's growing season is about 3 weeks behind? The lilacs were still in bloom last week and the wild roses are just coming out now. In My per renal flower garden the iris is just staring to bloom. Usually they are the first thing to bloom in early spring? My roses would have started by June 7 ,,, still waiting. The lilacs are just loosing their blossoms now. Everything is off kilter this year it seems. No Saskatoon yet either.
