No, I was not, Urgrace, but it sure seems like I must have been . That would have been the perfect ending to our winter in Texas. Except it is not winter; it is a good bit into spring. I just checked the South Padre Island weather for right now, and it is 48 degrees with a wind chill factor of 38. Yikes!

*sigh* April 16 and we have a few inches of snow and ice on the ground overnight. Global climate change, indeed.

That pic looks 2 tone because the trees in the back are also white? Did she do work on the pic?

the weather here has been so dry that we are having wild fires everywhere. right now we have one threatening the Okeefanokee Swamp - a national treasure. it has already burned over 10,000 acres nearby. and, there are several smaller fires around the Savannah area. seems like we have had them all week.

Twinks, the picture was taken in Texas with the bluebonnets in bloom and the rare April snow. The tree looks white because of the snow!! I am guessing the tree is a live oak, a common tree in Texas and other parts of the south.

I guess I'm used to oak trees with a huge single trunk.

I thought there were multiple trees - what we call a stand - in that photo but I have no idea what kind they are. I guess because I knew it was it didn't even dawn on me that the picture does look 2-toned. Bluebonnets are the state flower and with all the rain we have had they and the Indian Paintbrushes are absolutely beautiful this year.

So I don't know whether to post this in the Right Now thread or the Return of the Gripe thread or here. But... Right Now, I wanna gripe about our weather! It feels like WINTER outside, dang it! It's 51 degrees and raining and cold and miserable. And it's mid April already. And it's southern California! Plus, it was windy as all get out earlier (thankfully, once the rain started the wind died down). Brr!! I hate it! Plus, I had plans to go hang out at Summer's Past Farms this weekend. They've got beautiful gardens to browse around in and I was gonna buy some more lavender!

What a wonderful place, Costa! Hope your weather is better than ours. (and see, you could nip over to Alpine for cat food on the same trip )

LOL Costa, the last couple days have been plain nasty, it even rained yesterday. Tomorrow also is supposed to be cold and stormy...but today is absolutely gorgeous. Today is also the start of our Poppy Festival and having a nice weather day during it is pretty unusual. In fact, we haven't been in several years because the weather is always just terrible!

That is an awesome picture of the stand of trees amidst the bluebonnets and April snow, NT. Wow! Our current temperature in south central Texas is 74º with a 10-13 mph breeze and it's going to go close to 80º. There are clouds but the sun has been peeking through here and there. If it weren't for the outrageously high oak pollen and mold counts spending the day outside would be close to perfect (for humans)! I'm sure the oak trees are basking in their pollenation.

Here in the Georgia Mountains, it's been beautiful! Warm, sunny, big fluffy clouds. We got some much needed rain a couple of days ago... Our pool opens in 6 days! Incentive for the kids to get homework DONE, lol.

We had rain all night Thursday night, here in Middle Tennessee. Yesterday was very cool, not sure of the exact temps but probably around 65 for a high. Very, very nice. Haven't poked my nose out this morning.

Both of you live in some beautiful country! We had some gorgeous skies yesterday. It's taking a long time for the gray to clear off this morning, here in central Texas. We're going to have a mostly cloudy day, hot with temps in the mid 80's and high dew point and humidity.
