BOY...it's been a crazy Spring....

We are having 40 degree weather one day
and 90 degrees the next.





We are having plenty of SUNSHINE....

and all my indoor plants are thriving.....

and the new pool is looking beautiful...
(I especially love this reflection of the palm tree in the water)

BUT....THE WIND....
O MY GOSH...
we always have wind during the spring..
but this year it has OUTDONE itself....


While the weather isn't allowing us to take plants and flowers
out of the greenhouse yet,
I couldn't wait to work on my tiny patio last week....


....after yesterday's wind throwing a temper tantrum....
nothing really hurt...
just messed up....BIG TIME


After seeing that patio in such a mess,
I just went back inside and looked at my pretty roses
and tried to remember that I'd rather have that wind
than fires and mudslides.

  1. Good morning BJ, we’ve had wind here in Missouri too. Your flowers are so pretty! We won’t open our pool until Memorial Day but I do have my outside fountain running, love that sound. Have a great day! ~jackie~

  2. Yes it has been terrible here too! Our son is stationed in El Paso now and they had sandstorms last Friday...then Saturday our sky was brownish and we thought the sand had arrived here in Dallas!

  3. Oh my goodness, we had wind here in s.e. Fl yesterday too. Then heavy rains last evening, which brought cooler temps this morning. The reflection in your pool is lovely and your patio set up is very nice.

    Have a great week ~ FlowerLady

  10. Same here friend. But, I will say I remember those spring winds when visiting our daughter in Texas. Here's hoping the warmer temps are on their way for good.

  11. We have had big time winds . . .
    And ice and snow . . .
    Moving four inches of thick ice calls for a plow truck!

    Love your pool area . . . beautiful . . . nice palm tree and reflection too.

  12. Oh it is rotten and foul all over! I am sorry that you are dealing with a climate in need of prozac. I feel similarly about mine. (Freezing rain here today. 28°. Stinkin’ unbelievable.

    Now that view of the palm tree is stellar! And those roses...the color...make me grin.

  16. BJ, our weather is crazy. It was cold this morning and getting up to 64 later in day. Rain like crazy yesterday. WIND is horrible today. As my granny would have said, That wind has a bad breath to it! Hugs and blessings, Cindy

  17. I agree with you about the weather. It hasn't even really been spring yet in NJ. Friday and Saturday were 82 degrees and yesterday and the rest of the week cold and rain on and off

    We had four Nor'easters a month ago. We rarely have seen the sun. They are saying we are going to have a bomb cyclone of pollen when it does get warm.

    In the grand scheme of things it's annoying. No flooding, hurricane or tornado, so it's inconvenient and a bummer.

  18. That wind did do a number on your porch, didn't it? We're just cold and icy, but not too much wind today. Longing for spring -- you're right; it's a crazy year.

  19. Oh my gosh BJ that pool is gorgeous and the reflection of the palm trees is beautiful. Don't be surprised if you look outside some day and I am floating in your pool. We are still looking at snow ugh!!
    Happy New Week.
    xoxo

  20. It's crazy here in North Carolina too! We have 80 degree weather on day and cold the next. Just as I was reading your post, I got a "frost warning" on my phone and its currently 57 degree. Just crazy, but it could be worst.

  26. We've had some mighty gusts of wind here in these parts, too. Love that shot of the pool with the reflection of the palms. Beautiful!

  27. your flowers are so pretty and colorful, very cheery! Wow, the wind did a number out there didn't it? Hope your week is going well my friend!

  28. Oh my! The mess of your patio is much worse than me having to chase the garbage bin down the road as the wind took it for a ride.

    Love the pool.

    God bless.

  29. Misery loves company so I am (sad to say) 'happy' to hear we aren't alone in the wind storms. We've had a couple that have knocked over potted plants, broken others and have dumped plenty of African sand on our outdoor surfaces. As you said of there, we have had wind before, but nothing like the sandstorms (continual) that we've had this year. My roses are little troopers though, battered around as they are, they manage to keep blooming. Hope spring finally becomes a lamb in your world. xxx J

  30. Oh wow, that was some temper tantrum! I love your before or was it after pictures with the wonderful colours on your patio area, great colours. Here's sending you some Thai Zen.

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
