I saw your post when I buzzed inside to check the actual temp on Saturday but couldn't stop for long. I know you understand ;) After what might have been a record of 91 Sat and also Mon, we're looking at cool gray skies and rain for a few days. That's ok because, 1, we need it and 2, the stuff I divided needs to be well watered-in! Shame that with such high temps, the tree blooms have not lasted long. <em>Lynn, At some point on Sunday, I read the temp at my house - 88. And like you, I was busy busy out in it... (Poor plants.) And I'm a little sad about the trees too - really could have sat and watched them bloom out if there wasn't so much to do! -kris</em> Amen to all that!

I was lucky to have my sister and a friend join me. Last year we went the same weekend and it was cold and rainy. What a difference this year! I loved the little yellow ground cover with the daffs; they were not in bloom last year. So many special things there, love your photos and comments! <em>Anne, I'm sorry I missed meeting you. The pendulum swings, doesn't it? - No rain but hot-hot! I hope you come back for an un-birthday party this summer. -kris</em> I went to Blithewold Sunday, 4/26 to celebrate my birthday.

It's warm in Chicago today, too, so I plan on finally getting out and cleaning my balcony and getting it ready for my container garden. <em>CD, I think preparation for planting is a perfect task for a hot April day - that's what I did at home too... -kris</em> Ah, the signs of spring.
