Partly cloudy overnight with a low in the mid 40s. Light winds.

Finally, the end of the frosty nights. Hopefully what ever hasn’t been damaged by the cold system that overwhelmed everything will at last be able to grab hold of Spring and continue to grow and flourish. Don’t see any more temperatures falling into the 30s now for awhile. We spent way too long dealing with this unfriendly weather. Time to get serious about warming up – and staying warmed up. Daytime temperatures in the 70s and nights in the 50s? Sounds wonderful, doesn’t it? Flowers blooming, grass growing – well in most places, anyway. Here in my little backyard there is a maniac with a lawn mower who visits far too often with the blade of his mower evidently set at grass root level. So any greenery daring an attempt to grow back there is doomed to a brief life and a quick death. Nothing I can do about it but mourn the foolishness of it all.  And appreciate other folk’s lawns. Which I do.
