southern Oregon's Rogue Valley is in Spring, even of most of the country isn't. today I walked the dogs and saw spring bulbs not just up but blooming and then I came home and mowed the (tiny) lawn.
SPRING!!!

We're getting "warnings" about our early spring not being such a good thing - besides the drought, the flowering plants in parts of our area (we are all microclimates) could still get frosts. Although it doesn't happen often, or even every year, we lost a few of our plants already this winter from a once every 2 or 3 years frost.

Low 70's and really nice here too!
yes, dry - we had one snow this winter and not much rain. I know the fire season will be horrible.

Well, we had a snowpacalypse, an earthquake, and tornadoes all within a week here. I think we might've pushed SC over it's capacity for Yankees and it's trying to reject us 
That wasn't the worst snow we've had...that one (in my memory) was 1993 when it exceeded 12 inches in Greenville. Earthquakes are also normal in this area as there is a fault line around here, up here in the upstate are the mapped lines but most of the activity tends to happen near Charleston (Edgefield is down that way) http://www.erh.noaa.gov/cae/quake.htmWell, we had a snowpacalypse, an earthquake, and tornadoes all within a week here.

And just be glad we aren't in tornado alley...
That is why WE prefer up the road in the mtns.

Yeah, add that to the list of things I didn't know before moving here :eusa_shifty:
At LEAST you are renting for now. LOL
It was beautiful today....it's gotten to the mid 70's and the sun is shining...I have plants starting to bud...just in time for another freeze!

True, but I don't foresee us renting for too much past our one year lease, I think we want to sink our feet in, earthquakes or no earthquakes
Yes, and it gives you time to find where in the area you really want to be!True, but I don't foresee us renting for too much past our one year lease, I think we want to sink our feet in, earthquakes or no earthquakes
aw, sorry Hala. allergies suck.
This is just a test: just curious if this way of pasting works - this isn't saved anywhere (not even on my computer) - I did a printscreen, opened in Paint, cropped, and copied the result onto the clip board to paste it into an email (if it shows, this is from GoogleMaps of the park near my house - although I'm sure it's not from this year, this is the exact stage of blooming the pear trees are at right now - pollen and allergy max!).
ETA: OK, that's weird - I can see it (I really didn't expect to) - can anyone else?
ETA: I can see it on my cell phone, which means everyone can see it - how can that be?
