Well it went right over us and never dropped a drip of rain! (The east side may have gotten some.) Now we can look forward to Mon. nite could get sleet and are to have a hard freeze Tue am. My lilacs, quince, redbud and spirea are all blooming. Grass is still more brown than green (berumda).

Hi CatLadyOKC, Hope your weather isn't too harsh? We are to be down in 50's tomorrow and rain. We were spoiled with two days of 80's and one near 80. Hang in there, it will get better. :)

Think today is good, low this am was 27 but up to 51 now and suppose to get to 65 or higher and it looks like the wind my be down, the trees are not doubled over. Will probably have to chg. back to a/c late today or in the morning. May be ducking storms again Sun, but that is still a few days away could all change again. We did get snow yesterday for a little while, but none stuck.

We are having flurries now, but not to stick. Very cold tonight with freeze warnings. Not good for all the Spring bushes/flowers that have started to bloom. Our snow isn't sticking either. Thank goodness.

I don't think it got any of mine, most are in fairly protected areas for the early ones. But our low was a new all time low for this date. I have some plant blankets that I found we have used them in the garden & they seem to work really well, if we get then down good enough not to blow off.

We will know in the morning about here. It is so cloudy I don't see how it can freeze. Thought it had to be clear to frost or freeze.!!!!

We got lucky, the first night it only went to 31 and
the second it went to 27, but it doesn't seen to have hurt my flowers. Lilacs, spirea, & red bud are still blooming. Did have a few plants in my one flower bed that went to seed. My husband keep telling me they were a flower & I keep saying they were dandelions. No problem telling what they were when they went to seed! Wind is back up here and we are back in a burn ban again, suppose to rain tomorrow and then again on Sunday. We are about 4" behind on rain already this year, also still on odd/even watering days.

We haven't had that problem here with watering. They have warned us of burning outside anything with the high winds we have been having,
I agree that was a fun puzzle to do. It was 79 here yesterday and tomorrow it is only going up to 39 with 1-2 inches of snow. I want spring - not winter or summer. I hope everyone has a good day no matter what the weather is like.
Wow I thought I would never finish this one, love the bright colours, although I have never heard of this one, mind you I have never heard or seen many of your tropical fish, so you see not only do we have fun putting your jigsaws together we are also getting educated, two for the price of one.
This colorful fish reminds me of a fish tank I had as a teenager.I really loved my fish and took a lot of pride in my tank.When my fish started to die it was heartbreaking and frustrating. I had no idea what was happening, until my 5yr old brother confessed to me that he'd been throwing pennies in my tank and making "wishes".When he told me one of his wishes was that my fish would stop dying, I couldn't be angry with him...
