Hmmm. The Lion showed up on Feb. 28th. An Ominous Sign?

Today's Weather and Dreams of Spring

This morning I woke up to see giant snowflakes and the temperature has warmed to 18 degrees.  If it keeps snowing like this all day we will get at least a foot of new snow!

 

My petunias are getting their first true leaves.  I will need to transplant them soon.    I collected the seed three years ago from a hybrid wave petunia, so I never know what I am going to get but I usually get a good mix of colors and it saves $$.

The Red Robin tomatoes are now 15 days old.  They are supposed to have ripe tomatoes in 45 days.  It will take longer than that as the temperature in my basement stays at 60 degrees.  I am sure they would prefer a warmer temp.  I also have three more that sprouted yesterday.  

 Sprouted 2/26

2/12

I have been harvesting lettuce since November.  This variety was by far the best!  I just replanted the other varieties but these plants are going strong!  Salad anyone?

What did I say about February? Brrr! Ice Cubes!

 

We are in a deep freeze.  No sign of spring.  Tomorrow and all next week more snow!  Yikes!

Ah, February!

I'm back home and it's sunny and cold here.  Yesterday, I went for a walk over to John and Gail's camper and back.  I love that hike through the woods, across the two bridges and then up high enough to get a view of the lake.  The snow is frozen so I can walk on top of it.  The deer have been scraping away the snow in several spots on the way there.  Lots of deer tracks and some raccoon tracks yesterday.  I looked for deer sheds but no luck so far. 
The weatherman says we are to get another Gulf of Alaska freeze by the end of the week.  Our temps are supposed to go below zero at night.  Bummer!  It's the usual wild swing in temperatures for February.  I am soooo ready for spring! 
My petunia seeds have sprouted and a few of the pansy seeds.  The Red Robin tomatoes were ready to be transplanted.  45 days to a ripe tomato.  We shall see.

Fresh Snow

I'm not going off of this step!

 Ok, I changed my mind.  This could be fun.

Grandma, are you sure we should be doing this?
