Now I get it, when it is full of rocks it heats up slowly and holds the heat for a very long time. I can see one of these in my back yard in Buckroe Beach before the end of this summer. I will start collecting rocks where ever I go now. Thank the Hubs for his service to our nation and for teaching an old dog at least one new trick. Between him and Granny (seed mats)I may have a great gardening year.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00739980913027959640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-32891636192619514652013-04-15T19:06:33.678-04:002013-04-15T19:06:33.678-04:00I'd love a day that got up even to 50.

We got 8" last night and now at 4:30 p.m. it's snowing like crazy again. Honkin' big flakes coming down diagonally. But it can't last much longer since it's now the middle of April. CAN IT??<br /><br />At least your hubby is off earning a bit of moola, but he's not gone for a year. I know it's got to be hard for all of you with everything up in the air as it is. All the uncertainty and inability to plan for anything. <br /><br />Your garden ALWAYS looks gorgeous from the second you start working on it the first of the season until your big Halloween blow-out in the fall. You may "make do" with cobbled together beds and old drainage pipe but somehow you make it look like something out of a magazine.<br /><br />I sure hope you don't have a scorcher of a summer like you did last year. That was awful.<br /><br />P.S. Should we all take up a collection and send you new gardening gloves?Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-11409538565629511672013-04-15T17:02:25.682-04:002013-04-15T17:02:25.682-04:00Your gardens are looking awesome!

Our temps have gone down a bit so there is frost at night again but today it's sunny and around 20C out there.<br />Your fire pit looks fantastic. We can't have fires in our yards here but I'd love to moves where we could. There's nothing more fun than a good fire. <br />I hope your hubby isn't gone long.Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5855162440022875977.post-74405137005785815372013-04-15T16:58:02.285-04:002013-04-15T16:58:02.285-04:00Anke, makes me scared of the extremes... it will b...Anke, makes me scared of the extremes... it will be just awful hot again this year I think.

At least I can ease into gardening. You know, plant one thing, hurry and cover it in a foot of mulch. Wait a month, repeat. I can almost hear Finn trying to explain the difference to his daddy.
