Mother Nature... I think we need to have a talk about APPROPRIATE April Fools Jokes...

Turbo really enjoyed it though... however the rest of us weren't terribly happy about it... maybe next time you can just surprise us with a early day of summer... M'Kay?

 Eating snow is always a blast apparently... :)

Brrrrrr

So the weather here has been pretty warm until recently. The fact that the kids didn't have to bundle up for Halloween like usual should give you some clue.

But lately it's been downright frigid! High today is supposed to be 8 degrees F. EIGHT!!!!

Needless to say I have been a little surprised school hasn't been canceled do to cold. The other day the wind chill had it down to -18 :P

Guess that's what I should expect in Idaho.... huh? :D

Oh Spring... Where ARE you?

Yeah, so night before last it stormed.

it not only stormed but it rained and blew, and blew and rained. Which, when you have a tall house with no wind break makes for a very noisy night. Poor Jer only got 2 hours of sleep that night.... well until I let him go back to bed at about 10am till 2. Yup 2.... PM.

Anyhow, I thought that was going to be the worst of it.

I was wrong.

Not only did the stormy, windiness continue... it turned blizzard on us. What the.... I WANT SPRING DANGIT!!!

My dad flew out of town yesterday (I have no clue how the plane took off in that mess) and I invited mom over for dinner... cause hey, we were going to cook anyways, and why make her cook for only her? Anyhow, I was glad she made it to our home safely. Apparently the drive down had nearly white out conditions. Blech

It finally stopped storming. But now there is snow on the ground. Yuck. And even though I think there is a fair chance it may melt somehow I don't think that fence that I scheduled is going to be installed today. Boooooo!

Confession...

OK so everyone has been complaining about the weather this spring. How it is too rainy and too cold and why isn't it acting like summer!?

Well I have to admit. I've been enjoying the weather. I think the main reason is the fact that I do not have any AC in my house and I know as soon as it gets "nice" outside... it will no longer be "nice" but downright HOT. I have an inkling that it will go for warm to sweltering in no time flat. And hate to say it, I don't handle heat well. :P

Not that I would mind the mid 80's, those are nice. You know, the kids can play in the sprinklers etc. but the house is a nice temperature? But once it hits 90's I start to melt.

This is why I'm Idahoan! :)

Rain, Rain .... go away?

Wow, I think this is the rainiest spring I can remember! Anyone else agree? I don't mind so much, except I need to mow my lawn and it's getting REALLY long and it keeps raining every time we get ready to cut the darned stuff!!!
