If you don't like the weather, just wait a few minutes

To say we have been experiencing crazy weather in Wisconsin lately would not be overstating the facts.  Today alone it was cold and wind, cold and snow, cold and sun, cold and graupel  (yeah, look that one up), cold and snow...you get the picture.  This is coming on the heels of almost two weeks of off and on rain which has been pretty heavy at times.  The amazing thing is, we are just coming out of designations of drought and extremely dry...after all the rain.

I have been putting my onions out on the open but covered porch to start hardening them off.  I did have them out most of the day, but called my daughter and asked her to bring them in for the remainder of the afternoon.  They had suffered enough.  I don't think this weekend is going to be time to plant after all the rain we got.

Arbor Day is one week away.  We continue to plan our events in the hopes that the weather will give us a reprieve in time for the outdoor activities.  Monday, April 22nd is Earth Day.  Plan a simple activity that provides a meaningful contribution to the earth as well as your community.  Anyone can pick up trash and make the world just a little bit nicer.

What ever it is you plan for your own celebration, remember that if everyone cared just a little, the world can be a better place for all.
