And since I'm half Irish, I say it with fondness.
Been unusual weather here. It's 73*, and we're expected to hit 85* on Friday. Our tulips are up, the trees are full of buds and small leaves, and the daffodils are blooming.
Hoping for a wet Spring to try and make up the snowpack deficit we had this "Winter".
And tomorrow will be three years since I broke my hip......
Happy St. Paddy's!
ReplyDeleteWe hit 92 today in the shade. No rain in sight. But, we're used to those numbers.
W enjoyed a traditional Corned Beef and Cabbage dinner today with "tailored" low-carb (i.e. no 'taters) veggies.
Hope the aftermath of the hip is minimal for you.
The hip doing fine, thanks. Between the hip and my knees, I'm getting quite good at forecasting weather changes.
DeleteWe are of Irish decent but a long time in North America. Rancher friends have started irrigating early. They explain roots can withstand a drought but the microbes that keep the soil healthy need moisture.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom's parents came here back in the 1880's or so, but both had passed before I was born.
DeleteThanks for the heads-up on soil microbes. If it's going to be as warm as they say this week, I'll water things a bit. It's just been too doggone dry this past year!
Winter may be on hiatus but it's not done. It's a virtual certainty the front range will get one more wallop in the face with winter weather before it over. The same is true for all the rest of us enjoying this preternatural weather.
ReplyDeleteYep, we always get belted good at least once more. I just hope it's not the heavy, wet snow that brings down trees.
