So...it's always fun to see what is going around the world and because we have so many from around the US not to mention Australia and the UK, I thought it would be fun to see what the weather is like around the world right now.
In good old Maryland, we have been having a very changeable Spring. Earlier this week, it was warmer and sunny, but yesterday we had thunderstorms and a cold front, complete with cat-and-dog rain. Today it was only 60 degrees, cloudy and cool, requiring a sweatshirt. Tomorrow the forecast shows that the high is 85!! And then back to the 70's and sunny for the weekend.
My flowers are blooming like crazy here, irises and roses as well as wild geranium, coreopsis,and lavender soon will be. Several shades of Dianthus (pinks) are burgeoning, although the azaleas are finishing.
The trees are in full leaf, that kind of beautiful vivid vibrancy of spring green. So lush with green that it seems like it's vibrating with life. At school we have an eastern bluebird pair nesting in a birdhouse....he is a brilliant blue and hyper-territorial, battling with his various arch-enemies, his reflections in the windows at school. male Red-winged black-birds flash their colors at intruders even while gathering more food.
The birds are singing like crazy in the morning and the sun rises at about 6 am and earlier each day!! (although it's been hidden behind clouds the last two days)
Oh, and in the climate at school...the seniors are done and ready to go (and we are ready to let them!!) and classes are winding down for the summer...bring it on!!)
