The Big Tease

2007-04-04

The past two weeks have been heavenly.  It's been hovering in the upper 70's, low 80's, with wall to wall sunshine.  To sum it up, the weather has been PERFECT!  Yesterday we were under severe thunder storm warnings and tornado watches all day.  The sun kept playing hide and seek.  One minute it was sunny then the next the sun would duck behind a cloud.  I kept thinking it was going to ran any minute but to my surprise it held out most of the day.

When my husband got home we were out in the yard piddling around when the wind picked up.  I knew then it was inevitible..it was going to rain and ruin our perfect run of beautiful weather.  I walked around to the side door of the garage when I felt a VERY cold burst of air!  I mean one second I was actually considering going in to change into shorts because it was so warm and the next, I had goosebumps on my arms.  I thought the garage had been blocking the wind until I said to my husband that he should feel how cold it was, he replied with, yeah, it feels like the temp just dropped 20 degrees.  That's the kind of weather tornados are made of.  I've never in my life seen such a drastic change in the temperature.  (I know, I'm easily amused)

The rest of the week calls for rain and the temps dropping to sub freezing! GRRR!

How dare Mother Nature tease me with such beautiful weather, let the little plants poke their heads out of the ground, then BAM!  20 degrees?  

I know, patience grasshopper, Summer will be here in due time.  At least the kids had a lovely Spring Break.  Probably the best I remember since my children have been in school.  

If I were a bear, I'd be really pissed right now!

I'm worried about all the apple trees around here. They'd started budding. What happens now? Wish I knew more about it. Stay warm.
