Wow, the sunshine has been wonderful. I even had the opportunity to mow the lawn over the weekend. Lots of other folks were doing the same, and the smell of new mown grass was in the air. Unfortunately, after the first mowing, you really have to keep up with the fast growing grass on a regular basis. Oh well, it’s actually relaxing to sit on the mower for a few hours and see the progress as you cut the tall grass.

SPRING?--As this week began and we had some sunshine to enjoy. It was a sharp contrast to last week when Spring officially began and we were looking at snowflakes falling; that was a shocker! I'm so glad it was brief and we got into some nicer weather, which we are thoroughly enjoying, especially since a lot of the mid-western states are still getting hammered with snow and ice and other winter-like conditions, so we are quite fortunate I'd say.

NICE/THEN WET-- Last week we had a few super sunny days after the morning fog went away here in Skamokawa. I heard lawn mowers going and saws running and hammering going on. Only part of the weekend was good though, as the rain moved in Saturday night and it was a pretty soggy Sunday. My daffodils are just about ready to bloom so I'm hoping that the warmer temperatures make those buds pop open. Unfortunately, it seems like they no sooner bloom and we either have heavy rains that pound them to ground, or a late frost that has them drooping. I’ll...
