I feel like in general spring is 2-3 weeks early this year. But I also feel like we're racing agains the inevitable rain so we're trying to get lots done too. <em>Heather, spring seems that early to me too - though my calendar says it's only a week or two off... (I don't really believe it.) I hope you're feeling more caught up by now - I know I am. -kris</em> I’ve been wondering how your daffodils were doing this year since ours bloomed earlier than normal.

Heather, spring seems that early to me too – though my calendar says it’s only a week or two off… (I don’t really believe it.) I hope you’re feeling more caught up by now – I know I am. -kris

I'm so happy to read that it's not as bad as in other places & that the plants are surging ahead with spring. And yes, I'm panicked. Tried to garden yesterday after standing around under the sun at the dog park in record heat (mid 80s, srsly) and got heat stroke! On my birthday! Had to lie down in the hammock and watch Chris turn the compost heaps. That would have been fun if I had not been so nauseated...Back outside to plant peas (I know, I'm late!) Happy Spring to you, Gail, and all at Blithewold :) <em>Lynn, I wish I could take credit for "global weirding"... I can't believe you got heat stroke - on your birthday, no less! Happy unbirthday and I hope you're feeling better by now. (Though was that just a genius way to get out of having to turn the compost?) -kris</em> “Global wierding” is hilarious & brilliant.

Looks like spring is doing her thing where you are. Hope you can keep up and enjoy it all, too. Christine in Alaska <em>Thank you, Christine. - We got a bit done today and that felt good! I hope your snow goes away soon - I would think it has worn out its welcome by now. -kris</em> So far there isn’t much to enjoy here. We still have snow.
