Bring on the Spring.... Again!

I like the fact that we've had more snow up in the mountains in the last week than the entire winter put together (mostly), but come on!  I am tired of the freezing temps down in the valley already.  It has been so cold that my flowers are barely hanging on by a thread.  Sure, I guess that's what happens when one plants so early in the season, but it's April already.  Here I guess one either plants too early, or they plant too late to yield anything decent during harvest time.  No matter. I'll keep doing what I'm doing and hope for the best.

Took Raven to the preseason Aces game.  For those that don't know, that's the minor league baseball team here in Reno.  They are actually quite good from what I understand.  I have only been to one game last year and I saw them before that several years ago when they were the Reno Astros.  That seems like forever ago. 

Well, the weather has been so cold as of late that I actually pulled out my scarf and my gloves.  I hadn't worn either all winter if you can believe that.  She and I shivered close to each other during the game and we only made it through five innings before we just got too cold to stay.  She and I were both wearing layers under our coats, scarves, and gloves.  At least it was a preseason game and we got the tickets for free from the Boys and Girls Club, so it wasn't a real loss. 

I just wish the weather would warm up enough for me to be outside planting my veggie garden.  You know, the seeds that really don't do well in container boxes because they need room or whatever it is.  My dad came over on Easter Sunday of all times and we rototilled a nice sized area in the front of my yard for a veggie garden.  The garden plot that has been there forever is still good, but it doesn't really get a lot of sun, so he says.  I watched the sun pattern for a while, and it looked fine to me.

Now I have to garden plots, so one will be for things that grow great in rows.  The other one will be for things that grow great in hills.  Watermelon, cantaloupe, and cucumbers I believe will fare well in the less sunned patch.  I could be wrong, but at least they won't take over the veggies! 

So, we'll see what happens...if the weather ever acts properly!
