Odds 'n' Ends
Weather: After our extended dry spell, it looks like we're headed for an extended wet spell. Quote from the National Weather Service forecast discussion:
.LONG TERM (WEDNESDAY THROUGH MONDAY)...
AN UNSETTLED WEATHER PATTERN IS IN STORE FOR THE CWFA IN THE EXTENDED PERIOD.
So, today is going to be the day to get most of this week's outdoor work done, at least as regards digging. Thursday may be OK too, depending on how much rain we get tonight/Wednesday.
Sunday around 4PM, we had several minutes of graupel (or was it sleet?). Enough to show up on the dark ground, but my photos were too blurry to post.
New Plants: My order from Plant Delights arrived Friday, and yesterday I planted Epimedium grandiflorum 'Lilafee', Dicentra eximia 'Dolly Sods', and Dicentra 'Aurora'.
Birds: A blue-headed vireo and an unidentified yellowish warbler visited the yard on Saturday. I'm sure there were a lot more birds to see, but the tree leaves are starting to obscure the view.
