If it weren't for COVID19, we New Englanders would be talking about the weather non-stop.

We haven't had a single good warm day all spring. Over the next 10 days the highest is predicted to be is 62. Monday the highest will be 49!!! I still haven't planted seedlings that usually start outdoors. Many trees have no leaves appearing at all. Almost nothing is leafed out. I think this about the third or fourth "very late spring" we've experienced in recent years. Right! It's NOT "global warming," it's "climate change."

What about other parts of the country?

It also felt about 80 at 9:30PM last night.

The Beginning of Summer definitely hit this week in Phoenix after what did feel like a pretty mild spring (which is like Feb-April in this area).

In Maine it's hard to complain about any temperatures above freezing.

all around me. I wish I could post my pictures. I am in a new neighborhood so I am getting to see spring in a new place, and they sure do well with blossoms. The first was non producing cherry trees and every walk I get more and more flowers on trees and bushes. Not so much planted flowers. But wonderful pictures of blossoms.

By the time I came in the sun was really bright and it was downright hot. A couple of days ago I attempted to plant some cold weather stuff and found the ground had refrozen on top! It's been weird.

I don't really need to catch a strong case of "spring fever" right now.

Plenty of things to do around here while it's still cool enough to work hard without sweating my arse off.

I'm in SEPA. After a mild winter with barely any trace of snow, we have a cold, gloomy, wet Spring. We get a lot of temp swings. A day in the 60's, next day in the 40's, a week of wet 50's, a day near 70, next day is 40, a week of wet 50's. Sunny days usually end up with super gusty winds. It's been a shit Spring, honestly.
