Just had my yard man plow the driveways and shovel steps! Whew! Looks the same here.

I want to say this is the chilliest March Iâve experienced in Virginia. It feels more like February than anything else. I feel like my veggies are never going to take off.
My only hope is that maybe we will have a cooler summer than normal, but knowing our luck it will be 90+ degrees from June to the end of August.

I really donât spend as much time outside working in July & August - mainly harvesting & canning. I can work in 40 deg weather all day, so Iâm not complaining of the temps, but the norâeaster winds are sometimes worrisome to me.
supposed to drop into the teens this weekend. chance of -0 at night. not supposed to get back into the upper 30âs again tillâ weds then that new storm hits us. got to love northeastern weather!

Very nice today, almost 60, but very windy, after a cold night, got down to 26. We went shopping, so didnât get a chance to take advantage of it, but tomorrow is supposed to be almost as nice. So, hope to get some bush hogging done, then maybe get the pluots in the ground. And perhaps even finish fixing the truck.

Bush Hog is a brand name of a large mowing deck pulled by a tractor, so bush-hogging = big mower. Itâs powered by the tractorâs PTO, a type of driveshaft that runs out the backside of the tractor.
I have a 5ft wide one used to mow down wide swaths of weeds, grass or anything else Iâm brave enough to try. 
Since itâs been so wet, I canât get the tractor out without putting huge ruts in the ground. It seems to be dry enough now.
I use it mostly to mow our 3 acre south pasture. Even with a 5ft blade, it takes about 2 hours to mow it. Im using it tomorrow to mow down some weeds and the old tomato patch thats full of briars.

The snow, or the fact youâll have to wait a couple more months before you get to play tennis again?
Theyâre calling for a bit if freezing rain early in the morning here. I hope it doesnât rain too much, I need to get my trees planted tomorrow. At least I got my truck fixed today, and got quite a bit of bush-hogging done!
Iâm ready for winter to be over too, but weâre supposed to drop back down in the 20s next week, after the first day of spring.

Boyâs High School tennis season starts in 9 days, so, weâll be out there. Forecast for the first week is 40âs every day. . . yuck. This is one late spring. I probably wonât get strawberries until July this year. At least now that the worst of the cold is over I can be out working in the garden. All the raspberries are pruned. Iâll start on the treeâs this coming week. I get antsy this time every year, but this is really bad. These Minnesota winters are just too long. I need to go down and hang out with @Auburn every March!

46 degrees and sunshine. Kids were playing outside and we all loved this still below normal but much appreciated warmer weather. Canât wait for 50âs.
I was awoken to thunder and lightning at about 6am, very strange. Went back to sleep then got up later to see that we got about a quarter inch of cold hard rain. So now, itâs too mucky to plant the trees today. I 'm really getting tired of all this rain this year. Guess Iâll have to wait a couple more days.
Itâs 43 and cloudy today, so Iâll have to help with doing some indoor chores today.
It looks like the next storm headed to SoCal Thursday will be a crazy strong AR. With some serious implications for the burn scar areas. We in the Bay Area are also looking good, but the real fun will be SoCal.
