I was obliged to take three 'snow days' frm work, a rare event in Oxfordshire but one that made me smile I fear our planet is stressed... But beware the march of the pumpkins! I planted three once and they were so rampant I thought they'd invade the house. That was a very good Halloween though! It was indeed an unusual winter.

What is with the snow in so many odd places in the US this March and April! I have friends in places that never get snow in <i>winter</i>, that are getting snow <i>now</i>. And like you describe, bookended by warm weather. So very strange. (Climate change... sigh.) Thanks for the purrs! Ear scritches and tummy pats to yours. (Mine are in headbutt mode lately. They hop onto the back of the couch and gently thump their head against mine while purring loudly. So funny.) Snow?! What is with the snow in so many odd places in the US this March and April!

Very little snow, with spring arriving about a month early, so that we were bicycling in March. We had 90 degrees (F) in April and then yesterday a foot of snow. It will be back up in the 90's by this weekend. I have peas, radishes, spinach and beets coming up in the garden under a plastic tunnel and the garlic is up under it's cover of leaves. Because of the lack of snow for cross country skiing it was a gloomy winter for us, the alpine areas make snow so they were fine, but still closed earlier than average. purrs to your felines.
