Spring????

Mom is doing well after her extraction.  She spent Wednesday and yesterday here and then after tea this morning, I took here home.  There was some pain and swelling Wednesday, then only the swelling yesterday and some today.  Doctor said it should resolve itself this weekend.  We'll have a follow-up visit next Wednesday.

While here I kept her calm with vids and card games and food.  And lots of naps. 

This morning the forecast HAD been 53F and perhaps some rain.

It was cold (18F) when I took Mom home and there was a heavy frost.

Coming BACK from Mom's however -- WHITE OUT and I slid off the road.  (No prob getting back on.)   The roads were horribly slick and dangerous and you couldn't drive more than 20mph.

Yep - Spring in Ohio.  *sigh* (Rain gauge kinda useless right now, but you can see the snow is already to 2" within the past hour.)

I think I need a nap.

  1. I feel for you and that never ending snow. I`ve sown some seeds here at the south coast of Britain already. Cabbages, tomatoes and lettuce. Our spring had finally arrived a few weeks ago and I can`t wait to get my garden full of lovely veggies.

    1. I am SO SICK OF SNOW! And I envy you getting out in the garden! I hope your weather holds. I hope OUR weather doesn't!

  2. I just got here from a blog where the gal had all kinds of daffodils and muscari blooming. I couldn't believe the eye-popping colors. After 5 months of gray, gray, and um, gray----I don't think my eyes can comprehend color-LOL!
    Well, at least we're down to the final 2 feet of snow. I hope to get rid of that in the next 2 weeks. Then, slap up some cold frames and we'll forget all about that s.....sn.....sno.........oh hell, I can't even say it!

    1. 2 feet? Oh you poor girl. At least day warmed to 40 and our snow has melted. (For now....!)

    1. Going to barely get into 30s this week - but a brief warmup for next weekend. Thankfully I'm not chomping at the bit to get outside. I've got all those greens to tend in the basement.
