My mother, that ever reliable source of weather info and stats, tells me that April was colder than December for us…considering Christmas eve was almost 70 degrees, and we had quite a lot of snow in April PLUS below zero (coldest April day on record) I think I could have figured it out…sadly, March had been beautiful and mild and the plants got a head start, got frost damaged and now…meh. BARELY any forsythia, hardly any daffodils or tulips, and I wonder about the apple and cherry trees, what will they do?
But May is always a gorgeous month and it has been.
My plant seedlings are now about 3 weeks old and doing well--the pic shows cosmos and sunflowers and tomatoes. Elsewhere my basil and lavender look good too, and all will be planted in about 4 weeks in containers and pots outside….
it has been years since I have fired a kiln and looked in the port at the cone…and Thursday I did. I could see the cone 6 melted a bit (cones are these things that melt at a particular desired temp. that you use to measure heat inside the kiln). I hadn't looked into a kiln (me and my dark glasses) in a very long time…
Finally, my beagle can DANCE! Hold up a treat and watch what she can do….

We are having some cold weather in GA too. I think February was warmer than May. Weird.
May temperatures have finally come.. it's so nice to have windows open and the heat turned off! Penny is adorable as always. And I love that little glass vase of wild violets (or whatever they're actually called by someone who knows which is not me). ;)
