The next week looks pretty good here. 47 for a high today, and up into the high 50s and even a 60 degree day all next week.

Was minus 20 according to our thermometer when I got up at 5 AM but WeatherUnderground says the low in Bangor was only 4 so hoping it's a glitch with our thermometer. Maybe it fell in a snowbank. Currently 8 in Bangor with a high of 22 forecast but at least no more snow or ice.
Sorry! Here...

I still think we'll get a big storm before spring has sprung here, though.
Hey, not weather related, but did ya hear Peyton is coming back? Still needs to pass his physical before it's official, but
Peyton who?
Now starts my extremely vigorous campaign to get to Denver one time, one time, to see him play before he retires.
You may not quote me on that although I wouldn't reject any offers of garden fresh tomatoes and cukes.Ms. Mod said she would pay your way if you grew us all tomatoes and cukes for sammiches this summer!!!

Right about now we all need something to live for to get us through the rest of this miserable winter.
Well, it was worth a shot. Although CAT is so nice I'm sure she would anyway. But, I've got to say, I can't stop thinking about those sandwiches since we talked about them yesterday.......

My wife turned on The Red Sox last night. I almost cried.............
You can grow quite a lot in containers which wouldn't require tearing up your lawn and could easily be moved once the gardening season is done or you figure out that that spot might not have been quite as good as you thought it would be when you started your plants.We have been talking about trying a little garden this year. But now the spot the garden was going to go is being scoped out for a good storage shed, so we'll see what happens. I would love a shed because that is a step closer to getting all manner of stuff out of my basement and actually getting a start on finishing it...the room that is supposed to be my 2nd bathroom is called "the tool room." But I would like a little garden, too. We do have a good size back yard, but I would be very opposed to tearing up any grass to plant a garden, it took us about 4 years to get a nice lawn growing. (And I think I could grow a garden? )
That is a good idea! Then I would be fighting for space in the storage shed next fall.You can grow quite a lot in containers which wouldn't require tearing up your lawn and could easily be moved once the gardening season is done or you figure out that that spot might not have been quite as good as you thought it would be when you started your plants.
Absolutely! In fact some flowers--marigolds in particular--are good natural deterrents for insects so they're planted in with vegetables for that very reason as well as looking pretty.That is a good idea! Then I would be fighting for space in the storage shed next fall.
We were going to make some flower beds with rail ties too, maybe I could use that space for some edible plants, start out really small. Still put flowers in the front. Maybe if I was successful at growing some stuff, I would consider tearing out a small patch of grass.
