Same time of night. Temp is 67F but looks like thunder and lightning.
We hit 96 degrees today. It's not even May yet. Yikes. Summer is hot enough around here without it starting 2 months early.
Hit 94F here. I think we skipped Spring /
It rained all day yesterday. Snowing again right now. It's no wonder everyone has the sniffles around here, we have been yo-yoing up and down the thermometer for 2 weeks.
My son had baseball games in VT (Thursday), NH (Friday) and in ME over the weekend. It snowed at every venue........
Sunny and 20degC in Kelowna, B.C. Took some pictures of lilac bushes yesterday; they are blossoming everywhere. Tulips are up to. Someone
told me there are tulip farms in the lower mainland; that would be a sight to see.

The rain has been falling softly on the fields. The lawns are greening up, the trees and brush leafing out. It's been quite nice.
WE have hail going on now and the electricity just went off (and dinner is in the oven) I'm on battery backup with only a few minutes left. So, see ya later.

I just noticed our yellow Forsythia bush made it through the harsh winter. I think Andy just put that one in the ground recently (if not last June then perhaps the June before).
Getting some rain here with mild temperatures so I will wait to see what else made it, once things start to sprout!

I'm back. That was a long power outage (5+ hours). The ziti had been in the oven long enough to finish cooking the last 15 minutes.
I missed the Bates Motel, though.

Glad you're okay - we had two power outages recently - one the end of January and another beginning of March.I'm back. That was a long power outage (5+ hours). The ziti had been in the oven long enough to finish cooking the last 15 minutes.
Like Mom used to say "You never miss the water until the well runs dry!"
(ooooh - will have to put that in the "Mom always used to say..." thread
Glad all is ok. Ck your battery supply!I'm back. That was a long power outage (5+ hours). The ziti had been in the oven long enough to finish cooking the last 15 minutes.
Now that you mention that, let me give some advice to everyone reading this about buying new lanterns for emergency use. If you haven't bought any new battery lighting recently, you need to go out and buy new lanterns with LED lights. The reason being is that your batteries will last much much longer. For example, I replaced a classic Coleman florescent lantern with an LED version. The florescent lantern took 8 D batteries and would go about 20 hours. The LED lantern takes 4 D batteries and goes 125 hours.
There are many varieties and you will have to do a little digging around to find what is right for you. LED lighting is different than florescent and although LED lighting is super bright , the light does not spread like florescent does and you want to get good quality lanterns that have proper reflectors. That's why I say it takes a little looking around because LED lighting is very different and depending on what you are using the lantern for, different styles work better for different needs. But you can't beat the longevity of the LED in an emergency situation.
Totally agree about LED lights. Been replacing for use in tropical season. They are different, but you get used to them.
It is supposed to go to 25C here in Edmonton today. WTF is going on? That is sorta scary.
Light rain now, after a t storm this morning. Impressive lightning show. Rain to continue through tomorrow. 21C due to cloud cover. Lots of mud puddles for the birds.
