We have much of the color yellow shining. Interesting how the growing-season here starts and ends with the same colors, usually yellows and purples. It's as if spring opens the show, and then autumn closes it with different blossoms, but in the same colors.
Thursday, bad weather spawned in the lower-mid-western state of Oklahoma moved across the lower USA for the next few days killing at least 45 people across half the country. More than 240 tornadoes were reported with 60 of those within the eastern state of North Carolina. I would guess that we (Kentucky) are roughly halfway between the two. We have had more than the usual amount of rain; four inches pounded us in one eighteen hour span recently. It is still windy here today.
I have two helpers lined up to work this afternoon. Work for one of them will be out in the open, but that planned for the other one would put him underneath trees. I am afraid for people to be under trees when it is windy. I will try to find work for him in safer areas.
It is nesting season here now, so, no more pruning until autumn.
I don't really feel like creating a new post today, so I will give links to two reruns if anyone would like to look.
An April walkabout
Awash in yellow!

Interesting about the yellow -- I just realized that we have the same colors here too for spring and fall -- yellow, daisy-like flowers cover the hills in spring, and yellow rabbitbrush in fall. Those storms must have been terrible and I am sorry for the loss of lives.--Inger
Your header picture is so pretty with the bright tulips in it. Those tornadoes over the weekend were just terrible. My heart goes out so much to those who were in their way.Have a wonderful week.
I have always loved your header picture.I worry too about working under the blowing trees.Isn't this weather something this year?
Have a wonderful Easter...Balisha
We stay clear of the woods on windy days. We have lots of downed limbs from the wind and will get to them hopefully this weekend...
Barbee! This is awful. Your garden is lovely (and, as you know, your header for this season is my favourite) but they are nothing compared with human lives and it must be very frightening when the weather gets that bad. I'm not surprised you are not in the mood for blogging. Keep safe.
Lucy
I like the header too".
I agree Barbee, it takes the right mood to Blog. My prayers go out to those who loss love ones in those stroms.
The weather has been very odd this spring for us in Michigan. We have a mixture of snow and rain with very few days of sunshine.."gloomy, gloomy, gloomy! However May is around the corner and I hope we will soon have brighter days so that it will feel more like spring around here!
Happy Easter!
Canyon Girl, thank you for your comment. That is interesting about the colors that they are the same east and west, but the habitat and plants are so different.
Lona, thank you. Things are looking quite bedraggled here now after so much rain.
Balisha, I agree: this weather is unbelievable! Monsoon season in U.S.?
Skeeter, I bet there isn't much dead wood left up there.
Lucy, thank you for your kind thoughts. It's been a ripping spring!
Vetsy, Michigan should be feeling/seeing spring soon if not now. Not much we can do about the weather, is there.
