We have had the craziest weather this winter. In late November when Piper was born and Brielle came to visit we had weather in the high 60s while at her house in Idaho it was already hitting negative numbers. Our late Autumn and early winter was pretty warm. Then we got real winter and as Spring approached we got some snow storms followed by days in the high 70s followed by freezing temperatures. The poor plants don't know what to do. The news is reporting we may have a terrible peach crop because many of the blossoms have frozen.
These pictures were taken after a March snowstorm followed by some very warm days. As you can see the grass and trees are really green but there are signs that maybe winter wasn't quite over, namely 3 large snowballs still sitting in my yard.
Tomorrow they are saying rain, snow and wind - IT IS APRIL 16th!! What is going on? I am having a hard time being convinced of global warming when its snowing in mid-April and we aren't even supposed to break 52 degrees all week.

I have to say thank goodness for global warming - otherwise we'd be freezing here! It snowed yesterday and is supposed to again today. Crazy weather. Those must have been some mighty snowballs to last that long!
We've had crazy weather, too. Lots of fruit was lost when the blossoms froze here last week. Yesterday there were flurries, but today was beautiful and near 70! Who knows what season it will be tomorrow!
