Sure glad the poo stink is finally gone, and good riddance!

Oh boy...just now a patch of blue sky can be seen out my front window. And I can see the dripping off the roof. Because I had my roof shoveled, only the ice dams are left and dripping away.

[PROCON]

Hi Kathy, our promised Spring warmth hasn’t sprung yet, sunny days but still cool and windy, but managing to be out and about enjoying it anyway.

[luvie]

Hey there, radu!

Sorry it was kind of icky there. It was 20 degrees cooler and cloudy today, ie....a perfect day! Not as windy especially this evening. Hope tomorrow is better for you.

[radu]

Sure wish I could see the full moon clearly tonight. I can make out a glow through the clouds and that’s it. :-(

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good evening, Janey...((HUGS))...do you still have "passengers" to retrieve? Hope you are enjoying some spring weather.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Happy Passover, Mooch...

[radu]

You have no idea how glad that poo stink is gone. LOL It was horrible outside the past two days and a little seeped into the house. blech! It’s wonderful outside right now. Comfortably cool, now wind, and no pollen in the air.

I can see the big blue patch of sky over by your part of town. Rejuvenating to see the sky and some sunlight after such a gloomy day, isn’t it? Now you need some full sun to finish melting those ice dams on the roof.

[Kathy in Alaska]

I love what that picture represents...good evening, luvie. We will never forget.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Moon...what’s that? Clouds and more clouds, and sunset not for a couple more hours.

[radu]

It really wasn’t too bad today because the wind took the edge off the heat. But it kept me off the mower and I really need to mow some more. We have several days with rain chances so it’ll be next week before I can do it.

From what they say, we’ll be about 30 degrees cooler tomorrow than we were today, and have rain showers into the afternoon. We have a soupy night ahead, with flood watches, but I’m JUST outside the watch zone. It’ll still be swampy around here tomorrow.

[Kathy in Alaska]

The Mayor!!

1st!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

radu!!

2nd!!

[luvie]

It’s sort of overcast here, too. Makes it mysterious looking.

[luvie]

You’re going to need a bushwhacker to get through the lawn after all that rain and having to wait. LOL!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Pro!!

3rd!!

[radu]

It IS a little mysterious looking but its light is also dimmed. It was really bright last night.

[luvie]

It was here last night, too. I wanted to stay out a bit, but it was still windy, so I came back in.

[radu]

I just about need a bushwhacker now! LOL

We need a lot of dry weather for a while so the farmers can start prepping their fields. They can’t do that when the ground’s too soft for their heavy equipment. The guy across the road was able to spread the poo but he won’t be in that field again for a little while. Same for all the others.
