You can tell spring is here because it is raining. Oh wait, it does that in fall and winter too. Well, rain is nature's way of letting us know it isn't summer yet.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-3977522047517151502014-03-04T07:35:34.158-08:002014-03-04T07:35:34.158-08:00Oh, my, how delightful!

Didn't know they were hiding under there.<br /><br />The pollen index will go up soon, but it has to stop raining first I think. In the front yard our yews are blooming little tiny blooms and if you shake the bush or brush up against it the pollen billows out like smoke. It is pretty cool.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-30533220632799829472014-03-02T08:30:43.697-08:002014-03-02T08:30:43.697-08:00You can plant some bulbs in a pot indoors in Octob...You can plant some bulbs in a pot indoors in October, hide them in a dark closet or garage until late January, then bring them out to the light and water them and you should have your own sign of spring before too long, especially with your temperatures.<br /><br />Different shades of green can be okay, we get that all fall while it is raining. We don't seem to have 4 seasons here. We seem to have the 8-9 month rain season and then a dry summer.

Down here the daffodils will be done within a few weeks.<br /><br />Driving around yesterday I saw some red winter camelias blooming too but didn't have the camera with me.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-83668054006566785032014-03-02T08:25:09.962-08:002014-03-02T08:25:09.962-08:00With our two bouts of snow it has been an odd wint...With our two bouts of snow it has been an odd winter for us and to have temperatures down to 0˚F was really rare. I am happy to see things warm up and the rains return.<br /><br />Sure the grey skies are annoying, but we just up our Vitamin D to ward off any Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). Our family doctor says most people in the PNW are all Vitamin D deficient because of our grey skies in the winter. 5,000 iu per day keeps us happy.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-44452173226418261112014-03-02T08:22:08.004-08:002014-03-02T08:22:08.004-08:00Nope, no more snow donuts....... but lots of mud t...Nope, no more snow donuts....... but lots of mud to play in.Trobairitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03453398807198746434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10735041579950338.post-91522919633793586572014-03-02T08:20:39.469-08:002014-03-02T08:20:39.469-08:00Did I mention the lawn needs mowing too?
