dendrite

What are the bushes with the pink flowers? The lawn looks great although my chickens would hate it.

I love bees, but yeah...no thanks. Is that near the house or walkways?

Looks like we should avoid the rain up here tomorrow. Maybe we can even score a BINOVC and tickle 60F?

Love them. The only ones I may love more are indigo buntings. Lots of activity this morning...orioles, rose breasted grosbeaks, hummers, catbirds, finches, etc. The only elusive feeder bird for me has been bluebirds.

May of yore. They don't make them like this anymore. Cold and dry. The 24F for CON on 5/27 is absurd. 1969-05-01 63 27 45.0 -5.9 20 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-02 66 25 45.5 -5.8 19 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-03 75 47 61.0 9.4 4 0 0.01 0.0 0 1969-05-04 67 34 50.5 -1.5 14 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-05 59 38 48.5 -3.8 16 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-06 64 33 48.5 -4.1 16 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-07 59 27 43.0 -9.9 22 0 T 0.0 0 1969-05-08 58 41 49.5 -3.8 15 0 0.09 0.0 0 1969-05-09 63 57 60.0 6.4 5 0 0.53 0.0 0 1969-05-10 59 36 47.5 -6.4 17 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-11 63 34 48.5 -5.7 16 0 0.09 0.0 0 1969-05-12 60 34 47.0 -7.5 18 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-13 61 38 49.5 -5.3 15 0 0.02 0.0 0 1969-05-14 60 31 45.5 -9.7 19 0 T 0.0 0 1969-05-15 65 29 47.0 -8.5 18 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-16 78 35 56.5 0.7 8 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-17 86 48 67.0 10.9 0 2 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-18 66 43 54.5 -1.9 10 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-19 68 44 56.0 -0.7 9 0 T 0.0 0 1969-05-20 69 55 62.0 5.0 3 0 0.36 0.0 0 1969-05-21 64 35 49.5 -7.8 15 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-22 64 30 47.0 -10.6 18 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-23 66 35 50.5 -7.4 14 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-24 53 49 51.0 -7.2 14 0 0.08 0.0 0 1969-05-25 72 47 59.5 0.9 5 0 0.04 0.0 0 1969-05-26 60 33 46.5 -12.4 18 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-27 65 24 44.5 -14.7 20 0 0.00 0.0 0 1969-05-28 75 39 57.0 -2.5 8 0 0.02 0.0 0 1969-05-29 82 52 67.0 7.2 0 2 0.01 0.0 0 1969-05-30 71 49 60.0 -0.1 5 0 0.01 0.0 0 1969-05-31 71 42 56.5 -3.9 8 0 0.00 0.0 0 Sum 2052 1191 - - 389 4 1.26 0.0 - Average 66.2 38.4 52.3 -3.5 - - - - 0.0 Normal 68.9 42.6 55.8 - 303 16 3.66 0.0 -

Summer of '69 maybe?

The same thing that happened to 4 billion of them a century ago. The wet, mank spring didn't help. I planted them late last summer so they've been battling a lot of moisture. The root systems are pretty tough though...they'll probably throw up new growth later in the warm season.

Most trees are beginning to leaf out. The maples and oaks are in the very early stages, but the beech, willow, aspen, and birch are well ahead. Of my 5 chestnuts, only 1 looks healthy. Of the 4 shaky ones, 1 is definitely dead, 2 show some life to them but the buds aren't swelling, and 1 is leafing out but has a canker around half of the stem which will probably choke off the upper portion of the sapling at some point. Definitely need to mow, but everything is waterlogged.

Try Craigslist?

I'm not an expert on weeds, but looks like a couple of different ones there? The ones that look more like a seedling (not the stringy running thing) looks like something I get in the torch spots of my yard near the house. By early summer they start to get very woody with their stems. They're easy to completely pull out at that point after a rainfall, but you risk them going to seed. Maybe it's something different though. Do you have a lot of it or just that patch? Looks like a lot of that would pull out easily right now.

GFS destroys Mitch.

I broke 4.20" in January.

46.8F and drizzle edit...46.3F CAD can go to hell

His beloved dews are causing moss damage now.

Ronde de bordeaux

44.6F and rain...breathe it in. I'll probably put my fig tree into dormancy today by leaving it out.

Yeah...Kevin is def not a fan of extensive damage.

GFS trying for snow on snow Tuesday?

I'm pretty sure you'd be all in over another May '77.

My dad used to disconnect the belt to the AC to get better mileage. lol

23F at BML this morning...terrible. RIP to the annuals sitting outside at Lowes and HD.

Some of the models probably get some flakes down to the sfc here too. The GFS sits the deformation band over me. We'd probably flirt with a 34F snow/catpaws with -2C 850s and that lift.

All vehicles scorch. Open a window or run the vent for a bit. It’s in the 60s.

AC? lol
