Re: Ciel
True on both counts, well nearly neither insulate perfectly.

Re: Taps
Keep in the warm, it is said that more folk here die from the cold than in Russia.
Simply because they do not wrap up enough during winter.

Re: Kabu
Yes, it is early really, I don't know why we are getting warm weather earlier each year and then just as one thinks great, it becomes colder. Are you O.K.? You sound tired.

Nothing coming to life here yet but thesun is starting to have warmth init...it's the cold winds and the colder nights that seem to keep Spring away.

I haven't seen any tulips here yet, but then again it may just be that I don't get out and about like I used to. They may be up out there and me in here.

I've heard that snow actually insulates against much colder temperatures.
Time insulates against memories--sometimes!

Re: adnohr
I think maybe it was not so great. Things just get worse. Now I am laughing.
Goodness if one does not keep a sense of humour all is lost. I don't know your
weather conditions, but Karen as you say knows a thing or two. Most folk plant too
early and once the plant is retarded it takes time to recover.

Re: I can so identify with both poems. My tulips are not flowering, just
Yes Pat that is the problem if left too long I expect you will get blooms but the little
bulblets ain't man enough to produce. Gladiola is the same although one can usually
see where they are as the stalk usually remains. I am past caring about it though.
Ithink nearly two hundred dahlias have survived. I was hoping irreverently that half
of them had given up the ghost.

Re: Sassyass
Yes, there used to be an abundance of places to just relax as long as it was not standing grass, i.e. for haymaking. Folk are always too anxious to plant tender varieties, I know you were a month in advance of us once. We never plant such as stick beans until the very end of May and usually harden them off first.

I believe that you captured those hazy days quite well. This is a poem that most can relate to. Fifty years ago I was only seven, but I fondly remember summer days, city crowds, and playing in the soft grasses.

Good morning
The snow covered my Tulips, Daffodils, and my other early spring blooms, but thankfully it did not kill them. I feared the severe temperature change from 70 to 30, but I have learned that nature always finds a way.

I can so identify with both poems. My tulips are not flowering, just
sending up the green leaves. I'm guessing they've gotten too crowded and need the bulbs separated and re-planted.

Right to the point, the poem. Even if quite happy to be where we are now, do we ever stop longing a little for the youth we had? Nothing will be planted here until we are sure the frosts are gone. Also because Karen isn't back and I have no idea what or how to plant.
