Winter has returned. There was frost this morning. Thursday, I had the exterminator come to get rid of the ants. They were really bad this year. I would get rid of them in one area and they would come out in another. They were in my house plants. I soaked them with Dawn dish detergent mixed with water. It kills them but they came back in another area. I put all the plants out on the deck so the exterminator could get to the windows. Now they are all packed into the laundry room. I hope the weather warms up so I can put them back out.
The pollen count is extremely high as everything is blooming at once. Trees that bloom in early March were delayed but the cold and snow and now the trees that bloom in April are also blooming. Purple leaf plum and crab apple are blooming together. Forsythia is in full bloom as well as pear and apple trees. Flowers blooming are daffodils, and tulips are blooming together. Daffodils normally bloom in late Feb or early March. They ground was still frozen then.
The frozen ground didn't stop the weeds that grow all winter. I was out weeding Wednesday and Thursday and then spent yesterday sick with allergies.
I took my winter coat to the cleaners on Wednesday and needed it yesterday and today. I wore my long down coat that I call my storm coat. After weeding on Thursday, I couldn't get warm until I went to bed and turned on the electric blanket. I hope it warms up soon.
