ANOTHER WHAT A DIFFERENCE A DAY MAKES POST

Sunday High Temp--86 degrees  with wind gusts to 40 mph
Monday High Temp--46 degrees with wind gusts to 35 mph, rainy and cold!

This garden bench has been under the tree for umpteen years and Sunday was the first time it has ever been blown over.  The very, very strong winds yesterday must have caught it just right and over it went! 

I have grown Pink Flowering Almond (prunus glandulosa 'Rosea Plena' for years and always look forward to it blooming. The Pink Flowering Almond is a small shrub that flowers in early spring with a display of double, light pink flowers before the leaves appear. It grows best in light shade to full sun. It prefers a well drained light garden soil and is adaptable to most soil types and moisture levels. Blossoms are beautiful but  not fragrant. I plan to prune and shape mine after it finishes flowering. If it was in a different location I would leave it alone, but it is by the garage so needs to be kept in check.   I took this photo today before the rain and wind damages many more blossoms.  Photo is a little blurry as the wind was blowing the limbs around. It blooms along with the forsythia and the redbuds for some pretty early spring color.

Went to the accountants office this morning and left our tax info.  We then went to a local cafe that serves breakfast all day and had an early lunch. DH had breakfast but I had the cheeseburger/fries from the childs menu and it was plenty.  I have to go back to town to pick up our meds from the pharmacy and buy some groceries at Wal-Mart and go to the bank. We were waiting for the mail to come with a farm payment check so I can put it in the bank. If I didn't need the meds I wouldn't get out again being the wimp I am. 

Thanks for visiting my blog and I appreciate the comments.
