Kris, does all of FL suffer from so-called lovebugs? I heard they make April a real smearfest.

We get the equally misnamed cedar gnats, mostly in late May and June, but sometimes for longer than that. But they are much smaller bugs (inflicting intensely itchy bites).

Actually they occur twice a year just depends on the weather. First wave is usually April to June, the second wave occurs around late August to October. Some years they go stupid, other years it's just a light dusting. You don't wash your windshield in the middle of a bug blizzard you won't be able to see where you are going. Best thing to get them off is using those Mr. Clean or similar magic erasers. It won't damage the clear coat and completely remove the greasy, acidic bug guts off. Nothing eats them they taste so bad. You don't ride a motorcycle in them either , I will leave the rest to your imagination.

So what do you plan for Monday's dinner, Hoosier Paddy? CB & C or green eggs and Spam?

Pat... I got a head of cabbage, and potatoes to fry... only unknown was the meat.
Now you got me thinking corned beef instead of sausage!
num,num,num

And... I need to find the illusive Guinness Extra Stout... not the every day stuff.

Throw in a few tornadoes and a hurricane and you would have Florida weather without moving.

4th day above freezing and the "Spring Peepers" are chirping like crazy tonight.
That is always a good sign winter is over here.

No frogs out yet, here in east central Mn.
I did hear Sandhill Cranes yesterday though.
I am starting to see Chipmunks now, 1 yesterday and 1 today.

Best Wishes - Tom

Haven't seen the annual mating pair of Sandhill Cranes yet here either.
Hope nothing bad happened... they always have raised 1-2 chicks in my field every year.
Love to see them noisy "Prime Rib of the sky".

Oh, no, there's the food angle again. Moon pies?

Husband snapped a photo of a chipster on his truck tire yesterday. No cranes, but very soon the Monte Vista Crane Festival happens a few hours' drive east of us.

45F and steady rain projected all day.
Good day for some airgun projects!!!

Big thunderstorms rolled through overnight... woke me up a couple times. Lots of standing water on the property. I'll get out after my shower and check for fallen branches and any damages.
63 and the sun is coming up. Headed for low 70s and 0 rain expected with wind 5mph or less.
Looks like a great day other than the standing water. This sandy ground will soak it up pretty quickly.

This storm kind of fizzled out around here. Did get the rain but not the vegetative fallout that usually comes with these fronts. I did get the old snag down with help of the wind yesterday without trouble so now that part of the yard is safe again. I have one more to take down but it's in a place that won't do any damage for now. The tree is pine and the heart of it is full of fat lighter so it will be cut up for kindling.

Here in East Central Mn, it is sunny and 17°F this morning.

Storm blew through here about two hours ago and now it’s right pleasant outside. Very green! A good day to work in the garden.
