Spring Into Spring
I am not a real picture guy, but this is one worth keeping record of.
april-snow
April 20, 2008 - This is the latest, most significant snowfall I have seen in over 35 years in the Wllamette Valley. April often has unsettled weather, and freezes are not uncommon, but these kind of conditions are very unusual!
One week later…
april-sun
Exactly one week later, on April 27, 2008. This is much more like a normal spring.
One of the side effects of the odd weather this year is that the grass has remained dormant for a full month longer than usual. This is not a good thing for the hay bill.
Hopefully we will see the grass begin to grow now that the ground is warming up…
