Interesting to look back at some photo dates.
Funny what the mind forgets.

This is from Apr 2 2009

<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/4169717531/" title="DSC02449 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="500" height="375" alt="DSC02449"></a>

The next is from Apr 23 2008

<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/2436680803/" title="DSC01295 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="500" height="375" alt="DSC01295"></a>

The next one is Apr 19 2008

<a href=" http://www.flickr.com/photos/southslope/2425450439/" title="DSC01279 by edible_plum, on Flickr"><img src=" " width="375" height="500" alt="DSC01279"></a>

Seems April is often ka ka around here...
This time last year we had stage 3 water restrictions, i.e. no washing cars, windows, machinery, etc. etc. (and certainly NO lawns).

Oh man!

Hi Barb,

it snowed because you planted those palms outside! Never fails. PS, keep that white stuff in your area!!!

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.

We have missed out on all the snow here but
an inch of hail(pea and dime sized) did much
more damage and stayed around a while too!

the good thing 😕 is there were no banana leaves yet for the hail to shred.
Everything else OK?

It sure is hot here. Morning low of 73 F; high of 86 F. I'm going to head out now and water the fast-growing bananas and cannas.
Did Sen. Inhofe really have to be so wrong? 👿

We Canadians have learned to hate politicians of all stripes.
Or it's a sign of age.

Enjoy your nice weather.
We might show up any day now just to feel warmth.

April 2011
I need spring, sad when I think 50f is a warm day. 🙂

Oh no, not you too, Aaron! 😕

Two-for-one sale on longjohns at Wal Mart.

Ain't this GW grand?

GW--longer crappier winters than anyone can remember ever having since childhood, including areas that haven't seen it that cold in 50 years, hotter than the hubs of hell for 2 months (we'll affectionately call that "summer"), increased rainfall (normally a good thing in desert climes) where it rains so hard it washes away gravel landscape topping, making you really glad you didn't use barkmulch.
