Spring In Edmonton Alberta Canada

Hope it's warmer where you are!

As bad as I wanted to, I'm glad I didn't start some Snack Sticks like I wanted to. Picture was taken at 9pm tonight.

WOW!, It was like 100* here in Texas Today.

This is unusual even for us. Usually April is when this happens. May long weekend (last weekend) is the weekend where we think we are "finally Safe" from Frosty's Dandruff but as you can tell, we are not. That is why no one transplants tomatoes before June here. :'(

Yeah it's really bad for you and my sister and BIL and my mom who all live in Red Deer. ;D ;D ;D Sorry I couldn't even say that with a straight face. :D :D :D

I got sworn at by my brother in Calgary when I told him I was out in the garden, picking strawberries.

Oh my... Sooooo...
I'm just goin' out on a limb here...
I'm gonna guess that you don't wanna hear that my momma (up here from Tampa, FL, for the weekend) was complaining about how HOT IT IS IN ILLINOIS?
No..? Uhhh... Okey dokey.. Whuuups.

It's still coming down here in Red Deer.

I just cleared 3" of wet snow off my hot tub lid to get it open.

Ugh!

I'll trade places with you, I hate hot weather and its been in the 80's all last week and predicted again for this week. I'll trade 80's for 30's anyday. Now if it would only stay in the 50-70 degree range I would be happy.

Ditto here.

We had some of that forecast for us but it didn't happen. Is that a purple martin house I see in your picture. Mine have disappeared the past week of lousy weather. Probably headed south again in search of some skeaters to eat.

From a very good Canuck friend:

Q: And what do you do for summer in Edmonton ?

A: If it lasts through the weekend we have a picnick.

Captainslug · May 30, 2010, 10:16:26 AM

Hey its nice to see all the "Support" I have! ;D Hey I know it's all in good fun and wish you all well with your local weather abnormalities! ;D At least it's too cold for the skeeters!

Raf - Yes that is my home made Purple Martin house. Unfortunately the local population of sparrows like it more than the martins!

Summer here starts in February , ends in December.

We usually have a nice winter day or two.

TestRocket · May 30, 2010, 02:55:52 PM

Off subject but I see the Martin house in your PIC and have put up gourds for 25 years now. When do your birds start to show up?
