I know you'll figure something out. I just can't picture you not gardening.Katherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01576487047505755889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-25204504337301828502010-05-05T09:20:22.601-07:002010-05-05T09:20:22.601-07:00Snow looks so magical.

I probably wouldn't think it was so magical if, say, I had to shovel it every day. <br /><br />Hope it warms up and you get to start your garden soon!Greeniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957012495719096621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-51333272815372293662010-05-04T21:19:31.562-07:002010-05-04T21:19:31.562-07:00Thanks Marqueta, I will definitely have a garden t...Thanks Marqueta, I will definitely have a garden this year - some here, some in town, some in pots and some wherever anyone lets me plant. ;-) Where there's a will there's a way, and where there's a gardener there must be a garden! Fun to hear about your nettle, I put out another huge batch to dry.<br /><br />Ooh, Shelia, be careful or I just may come visit you. I am planning a trip down your way this summer to do some camping. We could bring our minifigs with us!!<br /><br />EarthMama, it really does feel crazy! Every time we come back up here from town we just sort of shake our heads in disbelief about the difference in season.<br /><br />Erin, how fun! I'd love to see your photos of baby hedgehogs. That must have been quite an experience for your family. Will you keep one? <br />Yes, it was a fun trip to the nursery. The funniest part was that we had to be somewhere at a certain time and thought we had plenty of time but when we finally left we realized that he had taken over an hour to pick out his plants!! Funny because usually when S and I go there he groans about how long we can take looking at things. Now he knows...Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-55613055043429883132010-05-04T21:12:03.371-07:002010-05-04T21:12:03.371-07:00Good to hear from you, Rebecca!

It is just so hard to get used to the difference in the weather and we are overdressed each time we go to town - warm socks, pants, coats, hats,etc. :-) Today we still have a little pile outside the door where we shovelled the walkway yesterday.<br /><br />We love to camp at mountain campgrounds too but don't usually go on May long weekend anymore because so often it is so cold. Leeches...bleh, that's something I like to avoid too.Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01343988569221606506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-17983179548552566612010-05-04T20:49:57.659-07:002010-05-04T20:49:57.659-07:00It just seems so crazy.

Your weather is really just incredible. INCROYABLE. That's all you can say about it. Come visit me. The boys will have fun making movies and puttering around in the sun and the warm and the....okay, I'll stop now.

We are sweltering in the house with 25 degrees+ because our (borrowed) hedgehog pair decided to birth 6 babies on Thursday morning. Completely unexpected...I wore my midwife hat that day ;-) They need warmth while young and don't yet have their eyes open. They have teeny-tiny toothbrush bristle-like quills that emerged a few hours after birth! Each baby is about 1" long.<br /> I will post about them in the SD pet conference tomorrow with pictures!<br /><br />It sounded like a nice trip to the<br />nursery with E. I love to do that with my oldest, he has a great eye for finding pretty plants to put in his garden or in containers.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06671726791773046278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-36729655796440031872010-05-01T16:59:37.057-07:002010-05-01T16:59:37.057-07:00A happy May Day to you, too!

We've been having high winds and cold temperatures, along with rain and sleet today (That didn't stop us from going and harvesting nettles by the river; I thought of you :) ).<br /><br />I do hope that you can have a garden this year. There's just something wonderful about watching those green babies grow!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br />MarquetaMarqueta (Mar-kee-ta) G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13471332103238738458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-12659855647044315852010-05-01T10:53:13.827-07:002010-05-01T10:53:13.827-07:00It always amazes me the extreme temperature differ...It always amazes me the extreme temperature differences in what seems like such a short distance, but a huge elevation change. We usually camp up high and have experienced many a May long weekend with snow in the mornings. One year up at Headwaters we couldn't bike the trails because they still hadn't had their spring thaw. We have looked very silly coming home from camping trips wearing our hiking boots, jeans & sweatshirts, to find everyone wearing tanks, shorts & flip flops! That being said, we've also had summer weekends that were hot enough to entice me into a cold mountain lake -- even when my husband had pointed out leeches earlier (& that's saying something!!??) ;)<br />Rebecca :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3559352152168236450.post-33327273496895890472010-05-01T08:00:23.768-07:002010-05-01T08:00:23.768-07:00Happy May Day!
