After a couple days in the mid 80's, it's supposed to drop back to a high in just the upper 30's by Thursday. This cold is supposed to stay again for a while. Plus it's even supposed to snow and sleet Thursday into Friday. It's May on the calendar, but Mother Nature doesn't seem to know it. We have gone from needing our heat on just a couple of days ago to air conditioning for a couple of days. Now, we will be going back to needing heat again. Weather here is crazy!!!
This is our only crab apple tree (out of a dozen) that has managed to bloom this year. The others are so confused that they went straight to leaves without flowering.
The deer that eat our crab apples during the Summer months http://www.pbase.com/dpf/image/145244329 are going to be missing a food source in 2013.
