The official Status Update thread #209....So this is spring...???

[DoggyDaddy]

Howdy again rk and Snap. Rain is here now, and it's dark and windy. That sounds like the start of a good horror story... "It was a dark and stormy night..."

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Pea sized hail too.

I just noticed another casualty of the freeze yesterday morning when I was out a few minutes ago. The wisteria got bit. And it was covered in buds too. I'm sure it will come back, but I don't know if it will bloom this year.

 

[Snapdragon]

Hey DD.

 

[Snapdragon]

OK, need to go make the dessert for tonight. It's a sort of dump cake recipe with cake mix, oatmeal, and cherry pie filling. I've made it 3-4 times already. Delicious.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Sun is back out and unless something else comes along, it looks like we should be in the clear. Now the temps will probably start dropping soon.

I think DoggyMama's mom used to make something like that. It is good!

I can't find the recipe, so may have to improvise...

It looks crappy out side, rainy and windy. Might have to contemplate a nap.

It will be nice to relax and grill outside.

 

[mom45]

Bird seed? I probably should pick up another 50# bag when I get corn this week...and more suet and definitely more grape jelly and oranges. I need a couple more salt/mineral blocks too.

 

[DoggyDaddy]

Just moved back out to the deck. Still windy, but now it's back to coming from the WNW so I'm sheltered. The air has dried out a lot too, so it's not damp and miserable like it was earlier. My knees feel better sitting at this table too. Sitting at the coffee table all hunched over gets to them after awhile.

 

[red_zr24x4]

About 200lbs of seed ,8 packs of suet 2- 20 lb bags of peanuts some orange flavored oriole feed, new tie out for the dog and probably more I'm forgetting

I was getting more done on the last shelf that will hold the big pots full of flowers when the wind came up and we had a nasty bit of storm here.

Then a brief bit of sun and now it looks like more rain is coming.
