The wifi went out Monday, which was fine by me because there were no snow days this semester and I've been weeks and weeks without a true day off. The weather was gorgeous, and I bought plants, went for a walk with a friend, and then spent the rest of the day in the garden.
I almost planted everything on Palm Sunday, but it's been a cool Spring and I didn't feel confident we were past frost, so I held off until the first glorious, gorgeous May day.
But now they're saying it may snow on Friday? Yikes! No snow in Jan-Feb, but snow in May? Skeptic though I am, that is some freaky climate change.
Or maybe not. On a lark I went and consulted the external memory drive and discovered this has actually been the pattern for a few years now. Snow would be novel, but cold and rainy all the way through May & June has been the new normal. Why is it that what happened when I was young trumps my memory of what has happened the last 5 years in a row?
To wit:
2015
2016
2017
2018
I might lose my four varieties of tomato, peppers, beans and various herbs. But the good news is, the spinach which I planted against reason since it's a cool-weather crop, may come up before Fall after all.
