We had ice out on our little lake here today. It’s always an amazing thing to witness. One day the ice turns very dark, almost black then slowly you begin to see small ripples of water, and before you know it the ice is just gone. For me, “ice out”, means the real beginning of spring. It seems after that, no matter if we have a cold snap, spring is here!
I have gotten my potting soil, and my seeds so I can begin my seedlings for the garden. I’m doing cucumbers, pickling cucumbers, eggplant, corn, tomatoes, butternut squash, summer squash and zucchini. My cousin Janet thinks I should also plant peas. I probably will. But we shall see.
The temperatures climbed into the upper 70’s today and they say we may actually reach 80 degrees tomorrow. Is it time to put the air conditioners into the windows for the summer? I’m thinking pretty hard about that. I really don’t like to feel suffocated by the heat.
I think there is simply no pleasing us New Englanders. We complain when it is cold and snowy and then when it is hot and steamy. Oh well, summertime, bring it on!!!
Pretty peas!
Can’t wait to see pics of your garden. I guess complaining about the weather is an international sport *wink*
Wow I guess spring has really made it to your place. The mini heatwave continues here in Europe. Still no rain sight 🙂
