Jeez, here in Chicawgoland we had one of the coldest Aprils on record, with much snow, and below - zero windchills even...

Last week it went from the 40's to 80's, and everything is blossoming, but a few weeks late...we went from winter to summer in one fell swoop...

I don't think we'll get more snow, but ya never know...

Good luck with yer "garden sass", nancy...
