And it was the city's Lilac Parade last evening. Bet those princesses were lilac-colored themselves! We had such a cold snap come through! In some outlying areas it was snowing, here it was just plain cold and blowing. While my sister and I were talking on the phone, they were having a hail storm, the size of peas!

We ran out (well I didn't run) and placed buckets over our tomato plants. It was supposed to freeze overnight! This is nuts! This morning it looks fairly normal out...few clouds. But it's chilly. After a while I'll go out and see if all the seedlings are dead in the veggie garden.

This afternoon I think I'm going to go see "A Mighty Wind." Have you heard of it? A spoof on the old folk song era. It looks hilarious and the reviews are good. Same cast as Best in Show. Anyway, I feel like could use a few laughs.

Everyone have a good one!

Hate that when the weather plays a dirty trick like that after the tomato plants and other things are planted. Last year it snowed here on May 22! Not much but so what? Snow in June in the Sierra Nevadas isn't unheard of...but that's like at 7000" FHS! Have a truly relaxing Sunday Red. Hugs.

We had that cold snap run through here too, Red. It was harder here simply because we'd had so much nice weather before. I'll have to say, this has been a beautiful winter and spring...plenty of rain, of course, but more nice days than I ever remember having. I hope you seedlings are okay. I'm experimenting with Wall o' Water systems this year and so far I like them.
