No George, we aren't having any better days here in S.C. The first of the
week was so windy, everything that was/ and some that were blew away. Turned
cold night before last. Yesterday Old man Winter came back for a visit. low
40's all day with a brisk wind. Had to go in to town yesterday afternoon.
Seemed strange to see no one at the Garden Centers, but a LOT of beautiful
blooming annuals!
Had frost here at our place on Sun. and Mon. night. Be late May before we get
leaves on the Pecan trees around the house. The buds all got nipped/
Today is still cool..up to 54 now...and drizzling rain.
But then we always get these cold spells here...almost always..as I recall
*in the old days* my Mother would sometimes takes the coal/wood burning stove
down around the 1st of April or when we had a nice long warm Spring like
spell...then it would turn off cold about now...we would have to huddle
around the firplace or kitchen stove for warmth..thankfully it would only
last a few days. Weather people are saying it should warm up by tommorow..I
hope they are right!
