It is in the low 70's here in SW Louisiana. It is raining, gloomy looking, foggy, and humid.
I thought I would be able to work outside today. Oh well... I do plan to take a long walk; rain or not!

We had a windy, partly sunny day. This was the third day of a yard sale, it was either showery or windy all days. I thought if we had a yard sale we would surely get a good rain, but it didn't happen. We have a chance this week for rain, sure hope we get some.

Stay dry, Teri. The Moving van is loading. The weather is humid and partly cloudy. Temps in the 80s

We have Dogwood winter first. That was last month. Blackberry winter so far has been cold at night, low 40's, then pretty warm sunny days. We were at about 76 today. And 80's the rest of the week. No rain yet though. But it scared some people, thinking we would have a frost. But we didn't. It's just really unpredictable. And of course the blackberry bushes are in full bloom. I'll be replanting beans and lots of other things in the garden that didn't make it.

Kristin, I have never heard the term Blackberry winter. Warm days, cool nights, lots of rain?
We had a front come thru last night, with no rain, but bad wind gusts, it blew our heavy lawn chairs around, but didn't get my new hoop house. We have had record breaking heat, but it is supposed to cool down this week.

Wow, I have been without a computer for almost 3 weeks, talk about withdrawal! Last week we had thunder showers every evening, once we got rain, a very good rain. Mother's Day was very warm, in the 90's in the valleys, but here on the hill, we were in the high 80's, with a pleasant breeze. I Dutch ovened for 12 people. We had a very nice time, visiting, smelling the lilacs, and enjoying the shade.

Blackberry winter going on here right now. Beautiful days for this week but lows in the 40's at night. My poor garden doesn't know what to do! I cannot remember a May where I haven't had bush beans already a foor tall with flowers and so many other things growing. Right now I have just seen about 7 little tiny seedings pop up the past few days. But I will totally enjoy this week! I hope the rain has stopped in Kentucky, Teri. I know how that is. We are still ankle deep in mud here in most places.

We had a whopper of a storm yesterday and the night before but we may actually end up with some greenery around here. The drought has been so bad. We are supposed to get some more today but it's bright and sunny, 65, right now. Lovely. More rain anticipated this week. This is the most rain we have seen in 2 years, so praying this pattern holds.

Still raining here in KY. I think if it keeps up I will have a lake view!

It is very warm here in the desert. Started out it was supposed to be 86° today and it has reached 90° so far. So we went from the 60's last week to the 90's today. The sun is shining and I have got to get my garden planted. Don't think we will have any more freezes until the fall. Unfortunately all the seeds I have planted in my cold frame seem to have vanished or are very late in starting to grow. I purchased some Better Boy tomatoes and some California Wonder peppers today. I hope to have lots of tomatoes this summer.
I recently purchased a FoodSaver device and I think it will come in handy when peaches and cherries come on in a month or so.
