CntryBoy777 - The Lazy A** Acres Adventures

All of our orchard trees are setting buds and it's supposed to get down in the 20's Friday night/Saturday morning. We bought a couple of fruit bushes last week but I elected to put them in pots figuring there would be more freezes.

Checking the weather for DH's trip was entertaining- 78 tomorrow!

Maybe half our snow has melted. Was able to turn the heat off all day today, woohoo!

I still don't get the reference. Before my time I think?

Only about 15 years before The show ran from '67-'70

Well, our low is down around 34, but that is Memphis, and we are usually a little bit lower. There isn't anything below freezing here in any long-term forecast. I did see on the national news there are some winter storm warnings out from Iowa to Michigan, tho.

Thanks Bruce.... @NH homesteader should "Get It" now...

My wife had a national weather map up. Looks pretty ugly all across the northern midwest tier.

Gosh she was young then, haha. Saw some thunderstorms and maybe isolated tornadoes forecasted tomorrow through Saturday down there? I haven't checked today to see if that still stands though.

Here there is a slight chance of some hit and miss showers in the early morning, but will be moving thru pretty quickly. So, there may be some over that way Fri nite or Sat, depending on how fast it is traveling.

Oddly, I was a lot younger 50 years ago too! I guess Sally and I have something in common

Had a high of 55 today with some gusty, chilly wind blowing. The day started at 38...and suppose to get down to around 28 tonite. I haven't shared any pics of the field lately, so here is what the warm temps and moisture has done... I got a couple of the goat pen too.... I'm going to double the amount of rye grass next yr and may look to start doing something for summer too. Tho, I don't want to have to mow 2x a wk, either. It will depend on how much the goats eat, along with the chickens and ducks. When the fence gets done, we'll have more room for a few more mouths chewing on it too. I did get another Spring pic too..... The dandelions are seeding too...
