How's the weather?

Screw Georgia Weather

I am so tired of the bipolar weather we have here. This past weekend it was in the teens and 20s with icy roads and a bit of snow, and now its 71F. I either want all winter weather or none at all 😛:curse:

Ya know, something I have never noticed ever before. Anytime a fruit tree is dormant (in the winter), and then sees warm weather, or even just when the weather warms up a little bit, it is triggered to start budding with flowers..(it thinks it's spring).....just for those flower buds to be killed off when the cold returns. This doesn't kill the tree, but lots of fruit trees form their buds for the next year, at the end of summer. So everytime buds come out in the winter, and killed off, that's less fruit that the tree will bear when the time comes.
It was minus 0 degrees F here last weekend (1/8/17), now we have forcasts calling for the mid 60's this week. I've spent lots of time planting and caring for my new fruit trees, now I worry about 'em, like they are my family.
At any rate, I'm not sure how much this has happened in my lifetime, but now that I know a little about trees, I notice lots of things. When I ride from work, I have seen these two trees in someone's yards break bud twice this winter, only to watch those pruple/pink flowers die off from cold. It'll be interesting to see how those two trees spare come the spring.
So, the weather.......sorta wierd if you're a tree....or a tree caretaker.

We had snow in Brighton yesterday, I really did not think it was going to be cold enough for snow but I was wrong. Sadly I woke this morning and it had not settled... I was hoping to see my cat James enjoy himself in the garden!

Wow, me and Rudy (her in my arms, on her back like a little baby) just sat on the front porch rocker today, for about 15 minutes, just basking in the very warm winter sun. I know it had to hit the lower 70's. It's 65 degrees now, at 5pm, and overcast. And every bit of snow, from last weekend, is gone without a trace.

Hard to get too excited about what the weather is doing, heh heh.

By this time tomorrow DJT will be Mr President and, according to many folk, the world will end!
