It will be nice to get cooler weather again though. Tonight we are supposed to get temperatures about 20C (68F) which is too warm for sleeping! - DaveDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06851174879441602754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-53292063102750822042011-01-17T20:08:17.808-08:002011-01-17T20:08:17.808-08:00you have a lovely garden and how fun to see spring...you have a lovely garden and how fun to see spring getting ready to pop out so early..Great Grandma Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791149428495689835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-17173637795540776792011-01-17T17:55:51.204-08:002011-01-17T17:55:51.204-08:00Yes, that header photo is amazing.

I never tire of it and the lichen. <br /><br />I also noticed how organized Tom was in his workshop. <br /><br />The camera seems to be doing a splendid job with your pictures and I enjoyed the tour of your garden.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11586429675286969340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-72344168164117955492011-01-17T16:58:33.641-08:002011-01-17T16:58:33.641-08:00This is what is meant my a 'temperate' cli...This is what is meant my a 'temperate' climate. Here on the west side of the Cascade Mountains, our weather is influenced by the Pacific Ocean. The closer we are to salt water, the more moderate the weather. Here in greater Seattle we live on Puget Sound, a vast inland sea of salt water.<br />That means we don't get extremes of heat or cold. It almost never reaches 100 in the summer, and temps in the teens are very rare.<br />This year we had a Acrtic blast before Thanksgiving with a low of 14 one night. Temps stayed below freezing for most of a week and we had snow and ice. That was very unusual.<br />In December we had another cold spell with lows in the 20s. But in between it warms up. Yesterday it was 55, today in the upper 40's. And the rain has let up.<br />On the other hand, that tease of spring can be a long time coming to fruition, if we get a cold, wet spring.Linda Reederhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665601809156707572noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-62343655925777258562011-01-17T15:41:35.136-08:002011-01-17T15:41:35.136-08:00First off, I LOVE your header photo!

We didn't have this sort of spring sprouts until April in Illinois. When is your winter? No wonder everybody wants to move to Seattle!<br /><br />By the way, Tom's garage workshop is amazing. Everything is so well-organized. I LOVE it!Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7098032728450352522.post-26983691144209908182011-01-17T15:27:04.070-08:002011-01-17T15:27:04.070-08:00This was an absolute feast for the eyes.

I've always lived in the mountain west or in the high mountain plains.<br /><br />Spring is on its way in your part of the country. <br /><br />Please update us on the progress of all the plants in the future. I find it fascinating to see a growing cycle that is do different from the one I am familiar with. <br /><br />I think you've already got it down on your camera learning process. The photos look great.Sally Wesselyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06470453773515491625noreply@blogger.com
