We are warming up nicely today. 43 F now and sunny.
Our next 10 days look nice (decent lettuce growing temps)ā¦ and my greens survived the 4 days of nasty cold. Our low here was 3F.

My outside sensor over the last week has avg 4.6Fā¦low was only -10.5F so that isnāt bad, just no warmth (until now) and too much wind. Looking forward to milder weather.
62F right now in Denverā¦they were -24F just a few days ago.
Geezā¦ Weāre thrilled to be out of night time freezing temps. This is our average. Freezing temps are unusual here at all. Weāve had a 17 F already at night.

The big problem is the back and forthā¦for me itās either stick with snow or rain. With the above average temps over the next week or 2ā¦I donāt mind bare ground. What I donāt want is bare ground then plunging temps to below zero!

I donāt want rain, but some snow being gone sure wouldnāt hurt my feelings. No melting in sight here.

Weāre supposed to top out at 34 today. Thereās no sun out there, so I have my doubts. Still, it feels almost 70 degrees warmer today than it did last week. Iāll take it. Today is the warmest day in the 10 day here, so thereāll be no melting anytime soon.

Looks niceā¦cold gone back to Siberia I hope.
But, too much 50-60 degree stuffā¦and thereāll be problems things trying to bud.

Sunny.
Huge change from not getting up to zero last Friday/Saturday!

The GFS has low 70Fs into Kentucky next Tues. I got to admit that sounds really nice. I really need to wash our cars==they are caked in road salt.

I noticed thatā¦reckon them honeyberries start to bloom?
@Blueberryā¦ my honeyberries got yanked up and tossed over in the field. When they finally fruited for meā¦ the taste was not impressive at all ā¦ mostly tart no real flavorā¦ and they ripened a couple weeks after I had Strawberries and Goumi ripening (not actually early fruit, not my varieties anyway).
I am replacing them with something that will produce good stuff for meā¦ black raspberries.
I love black raspberriesā¦but the birds get most of them anymore
ā¦as a kid Iāve picked a gallon from thickets and stream banksā¦
birds never ate them.
Times change I reckon, never observed a bald eagle until age 45, only one deer prior to age 25. More quail and grouse back then though.
Bald eagles seen in both Pulaski and Rockcastle Co in Kentucky in past year. Including little ones. Before past couple years, never observed one in state of Kentucky.
First time, in NC, second one in FLā¦more than a decade ago. But, theyāre here.
Soon, theyāll be a pest tooā¦eating dogs and cats. Not just chickens and rabbits.
Lots of eagles here. We usually have at least one nesting pair, some years more. As long as you have agriculture in the area, they wonāt be bothering the family pets. They are lazy opportunists, largely scavengers. Anywhere poultry manure gets spread (most every field in this area), thereās chicken carcasses. Anywhere dairy manure gets spread (many fields in this area), thereās something dead in there for the eagles to eat. Roadkilled critters make up a large part of their diets too. Iāve driven past fields recently spread with poultry manure and seen over a dozen eagles feasting.
