Anyone still burning??

[Warm_in_NH]

I feel so bad for anyone who still has to burn for heat. Maybe you live in an area where it's normal, then it's not so bad, but if it's due to winter over staying her welcome, then it must be getting old.

Were a couple weeks late but i finally hung flowers on the porch today, garden is ready for planting (next weekend, still can frost) and the black flies are out and so very hungry for blood.

Heh... I feel sorry for anyone with blood-sucking flies! Never seen one, here. Just the occasional mosquito, and tics.

 

[Huntindog1]

Dang had to build a fire last night and most likely tonight too.

40 is the forecasted low here in southern Indiana tonight.

My Garden isnt liking it.

BeGreen can you keep that stuff over your way?

No black flies, mosquitos or ticks yet. Ditches had a ice on them this morning and ice still on the lake. Some patches are opening on the lake but ice should have been long gone by now.... still burning overnight. 46F 8C for temp.

No thanks, we like our bug free weather. My NY SIL sent me a picture today of cherry blossoms dropping that created a pink carpet on the sidewalk. Our blossoms dropped a month ago. Hope it warms up very soon for you all. My garden and I would be bummed too.

Any bugs we had washed all the way to the Chesapeake Bay last night. Phenomenal amount of rain. The stream under my driveway came over my driveway. Radio reported ducks swimming in the streets in Alexandria this morning.

 

[Seasoned Oak]

We gat about 2" rain. Good thing it was over 2 days time. Its better than a drought i figure.

 

[Swedishchef]

I still have a pile of snow in my back yard and they are forecasting 42 on Monday. Ugh. Yet it was 82 temperature here today!

Lots of blood-sucking bugs in Newfoundland but the trick is to stay away from the forests and close to the ocean. The cool (or, sometimes, cold) breezes coming off the ocean keep the critters at bay and you can always guarantee breezes.

No flying blood suckers 28 F this morning ticks are alive and well pulled a couple off the dog this morning.

 

[Ashful]

Some here have criticized my use of Allectus for sod worm and grub control, but I and the dogs spend pretty much all weekend in the yard, and I have found only one tick in 3 years (probably picked up in the woods). All of my neighbors complain about constant tick problems, and most of those who spend as much time outdoors as me have had Lyme disease.

80s last week followed by buckets of rain. Then last might I fired up the stove for the first time in weeks

 

[yooperdave]

Well, I pulled the fire tonight! Now, it'll be back to the nat gas forced air till next October. Hey, wait a minute, that's less than five months! Gonna be a short summer I guess.
Spending the weekends at the cottage now, and the little 13 was doing it's job this past weekend-20's on Friday night and 30's on Saturday night.
No Walleye to report, just one smallie that went right back- gotta bunch of work done, though!

 

[firefighterjake]

Still not over here yet ... cool and rainy = fire.

 

[yooperdave]

Too soon!! Had the chills this morning!

 

[Ashful]

I'll tell you... I'm already starting to look forward to next season. I know, I know... it's a disease.

I did have a nice fire in the fire pit in the back yard on Saturday, burning up splitter trash and stuff I cleaned out of the woods, while doing yard work.

 

[Fi-Q]

Nothing over 50 fareneith forecast in a near future and a lot of rain. I have a small fire going right now to kill the humidity and the chill!

 

[Swedishchef]

Every morning I still light the stove. It's in my basement where I don't turn on the electric heat. Low 50s all week here. Ugh

 

[WiscWoody]

It's 82 here today, warm for what we are used to! I just turned on the A/C for the first time this year. The buds on the trees are starting to open. I think I can clean the stove soon. That should bring snow I'm sure!

[Swedishchef]

Haha.. Not too bad at all!

Still lighting in the morning... Only +5 or so..last week all week it was no warmer than 11. I think we have some heat on the way...woooooohoooo

 

[hossthehermit]

Mine still comes on during the wee hours, most nights - down to about a bag of pellets/week, now ............

 

[Doug MacIVER]

#hit down here a real gentile spring. me, the cooler the better, old age likes cool not hot. then that leads to the electric forum, oh jeeez have a day

 

[Ashful]

We were burning in one of our fireplaces last night. Does this count?
