   Light rain here today. Needed. Very nice actually.

Yeah...our puppy got over eating the flowers by his second summer. No idea why...but his first summer he had a tremendous appetite for Tulip petals.  Tulips just don't look the same without their petals. LOL

	I first had the thought that your pup was eating the tulip foliage but reread and realized you said petals of the flowers. I posted but then deleted a ref. to a flower called Naked Ladies. They are fairly abundant here in town at certain times of the year.

	Oh...super cool. Thanks for posting that. I always wondered what they were called but never remembered to look them up. Yes...don't tell my sweetie...but our Naked Ladies are in full foliage right now. That pic are your link has given me an idea. Our Naked Ladies are at the base of the telephone pole in the edge of our yard. I've worked liked crazy over the years to keep the area clear of weeds and grass. Maybe a 16" diameter circle. But after seeing how they pop through the grass, they look like they'd be fun to plant elsewhere and I wouldn't have to be so careful (except while mowing of course).

	I suppose it might develop later but the local forecaster sure blew his forecast for today. The precip associated with the front has fallen apart and dissipated. There is some northeast but hardly anything locally.

	Nada, zip and zero here. It did cool off for a couple of minutes.

	Finally got a sprinkle, just enough to wet the top and no soak in. It dropped into the lower to mid 60s here. Still a nice upper 60s. I won't complain tho ... I don't want anything like those Okie twisters.

	Talk about a switch. It's 80 here. Whew. Both me and the puppy are panting.

	Naked ladies have always fascinated me - take that any way you wish but the flower version seem to be pretty hardy. Always come up year after year and in the oddest places. A pleasant mid to lower 60s here still. That's welcome. Ah, and I see that Karl might get rained on later tonight and be cooler tomorrow.

	We've had a couple of weeks of 40s in the morning and 80s in the evening. It's been nice since we've been going back and forth to Birmingham, but it would be good to have some moisture. The lake is about 5 feet below what it needs to be this time of year.

	Cooler for sure...68 today and 63 tomorrow. Light rain this morning....but windy all day. A wind advisory this afternoon and evening. No kidding. I took the cap off the truck a week or so ago...and it still blew me around on the road after work. Depending on who is predicting...50-60 mph winds (gusts).

	Although I didn't get much rain from the front it has dropped the temps nicely and only got into the mid to upper 70s today and kind of like an April day should be.

	A splendid 58 right now on the way to 77. A perfect day in store to be sure.

	Wow, don't know how a high of 77 turns into 90 but it sure did. Warm but still nice. Now can I trust the 82 forecast for tomorrow?

	Sure you can. If 90 is the new 77 than 104 should be the new 82. We're bouncing around this week between fifties and low seventies. But they are calling for Fri and Sat nights to be around 32. (Which is why I haven't planted anything yet. Almost, but not quite.) .

	Super Spring day here and about like your's was forecast to be. Mid to upper 70s, no wind, sun shining. Perfect.

	It looks like another pretty perfect day here. Temps bottomed out at a nippy 51 this morning.

	Good news here. Rain hit us late yesterday, guessing maybe a couple of inches. Woke up to it this morning. Looks like we'll be seeing some more this week.

	They are still calling for mid-fifties for the next four or five days. That's the highs. Nights mid-thirties or so. Rats. T-Storms on Wed. Hope not. I took the cap off the truck to haul compost...and Wed night is our move the kid back home from college.

	I imagine I got about the same abount. Just enough to wet the surface of the sand. Walk on loose sand and the footprint of damp sand sticks to your shoe revealing dry sand beneath. Daughter says she got a gully washer down south in her area.
