We've had odd weather, and since I am from a northern place, (north of Seattle) I mentally want to hunker down for cold weather. Here in Texas that doesn't happen the way I like. We had a week into the 70s last week, so warm that I see today some blooms on the quince and several daffodills pushing up in one bed. But this week we had a couple of days of very cold (for us) down into the 20s, so those quince and narcissus are bound to die back again. It's warming this weekend, but the weather guy warned us today that mid-week we're gonna get a whallop that comes in from Metchosin's direction. Maybe then we'll get a snow day. The kids love them. The trick is to read the predictions well enough so schools and employers don't have to decide at mid-day to send folks home or not. Then it's a mess.
