20 years in UK. 51 in USA. I'm in the south. Already too hot, can't wait till September. I'm told I am wishing my life away. Just stay in the house and sew.

I'm here in the center part of the good ol' USA in Colorado. It's late spring and my tulips are finally blooming and the trees are getting their leaves. It snowed here about 2 weeks ago.

N.W. Ontario, Canada, I'm told it is spring, but the snow last week makes me wonder. lol Today it's sunny, so here's hoping we've seen the last of the white stuff. :)

USA !!!!! I am in Southeast Georgia Ailey 4 miles from Vidalia GA. 100 miles from Savannah Ga and Macon GA right in the middle of nowhere. I travel all over the US with husbands work. I am at home now and it is 93 degrees hot and humid. Here are some of my flowers before it gets so hot they all burn up, not much rain here so plants get crispy by summer. It is Spring here Ya 93 hot.

Lovely flowers, I thought at first they were bluebells, but then I read they were salvia. Really pretty and I love pansies they have some pretty faces.

Thanks I love them to but it wont be long before they burn up here in the south. We have to get started early because we do not get much rain here where I am and everything gets burnt if you do not water all the time and we stay gone alot. So I plant and enjoy early and then put straw down and be done till next early spring. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TO ALL TODAY.

NW United States-
Sorry I didn't think about where in the U.S. we were. My Quaking Asps are just beginning to leaf. No flowers here, as it is well known that if you want to die, "let's go to Billies house". Clay soil doesn't do to good. I have tried for 9 years & it seems that the flowers just don't like what ever I am doing. LOL. Oh well!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have also traveled to Mexico.

I left Tucson just in time, AZdesertrat! Can't take those 100 degree days. It's cool here in CT, but spring had already sprung by the time we arrived last week. And we have all the rain that Tucson and the rest of AZ needs. I'm halfway up the western border of CT/NY. We spent most of the weekend in New Paltz, NY with DD and family - near the gorgeous apple orchards of the mid-Hudson Valley.I'm SO happy to be back here, even though I love Tucson when I'm there in the winter!

Central New Hampshire USA (North Eastern USA - k3n- not too far from Canada).

It is early spring here(May 10). They tell me that there is still a chance of frost but it is finally green (I can see the stalks of my Peonies poking out of the ground ! :-))
