Drizzly day

Today was warm and mild, but overcast. The temperature in Reedsburg reached 50 degrees, which was indeed welcome even if the sun refused to come out.

The giant crocuses are about done, but the snowdrops are still going strong and the yellow crocuses are about ready to bloom. Daffodils have budded out and should be a show of yellow very soon.


Ned has spring fever and is on the lam in the great outdoors. Shortly after he eloped, it started to rain in earnest. I hope he is enjoying his impromptu shower - he is a very dirty cat!

Mom's book Death among the Willows came in the mail today.

Dad came over this afternoon to help fix the broken window in the garage. He got it out of there and we took it to the glass place for repairs.

He also looked at my proposed arbor area, and said he has some treated lumber posts and beams we can use to make it, as well as some wire fencing material for the top.

I will start moving some of the indoor plants outside, if it clears up. The datura is infested with bugs I can't seem to get rid of, and I think putting it outside would do it a world of good. Likewise for the cannas.
