Well, well, well… “Hello there, Mother Nature.” Or since we have such an intimate relationship perhaps I will just call you “Muthah”. I do believe we need to have a chat. Muthah. I have a few …..issues shall we say ……with your handling of the weather of late, actually of the last year or so.
Shall we recap?
Lots and lots of rain all last Spring. Then come July you cut off the supply. You remember that? I do. The evergreens dying this year as a result do.
And this winter. What was that all about? Snow and cold starting in November, 20 degrees below normal. New Years Eve. 60 freaking degrees! And then back to below normal temps along with snow-ice-sleet, snow-ice-sleet, snow-ice-sleet, snow… I believe you get the picture, Muthah. It became a bit of a chore to even work up a tolerance of the weather.
And now the little stunt you pulled this week. Was that really necessary? Was it? Would you like me to go over that with you? Well, like it or not I am. But before we get to this week we need to take a look at the week before. Let’s get in the Way-Back Machine.
Monday, March 21st. 78 degrees and balmy. Over 20 degrees above normal.
Tuesday, March 22nd. 74 degrees.
Wednesday, March 23rd. 75 degrees.
What a beautiful world in those three days. Yes, too warm, much too warm. But you knew that. And you gave it to us anyway. Let’s take a look at some of the floral delights occurring those three days.
