- We’ve gotten a little bit of everything – except snow! We’ve had rain, scattered frost, and hot summery days. Typical April!
- We’ve had several days of drizzle with no accumulation. I didn’t include these in my rain totals.
- My daily schedule has switched to summer mode: I work outside in the morning and inside during the afternoon.
- Spring always seems to be shorter than autumn! Why is that???
- The greenhouse is getting pretty warm on our sunniest days. The cool weather plants are finishing up, but my volunteer tomato is thriving!
- This summer I’ll experiment with keeping the heat out of the house.
