Another nor’easter next week, possibly.
Oh well. Walla walla onion seeds and leek seedlings are up and under lights. It will come. Eventually.

That lamb needs a snuggle. Do you eat those little sweetlings?

Spring….. Looking at -20 tonite…. We do however, have almost 11 hours of sunlight now…

We’re supposed to get +1 C tomorrow…T-Shirt weather! 🙂

Neither one of us likes lamb, so we can squee with a good conscience. That photo wasn’t today, though. I didn’t have a camera so I fobbed off an old photo on you.

I feel cheated by last year’s lamb!

Already spring here, has been for a month at least.

I wanna hug it and squeeze it and make it mine!!!

Well, it’s March! That means 2° at night & 35° during the day (so the ice just melts a little & then refreezes every night, hooray!).

Also, that lamb uh died of uh a car accident while it was uh drunk, so I don’t feel guilty eating it.

I live on the central Florida gulf coast. It got really, really cold here overnight a few weeks ago, all the way down to the low 40s F (5-6 C). Daytime highs range from low 70s to low 80s.

Neener. (-;

I was in my late forties before I tasted lamb (as in roasted leg of). The woman who cooked it was Greek, and the meat was baptized in olive oil and rubbed with a million herbs that I’d never tasted before. I might have liked it better if it had been prepared … less aggressively. But what do I know. I was weaned on chicken fried steak.

Stoaty—did you use that photo for the drawing you made several years ago? You could show it to us again, please.

Encased in snow and ice since Sunday. Melted a little yesterday, more today. Tomorrow it is supposed to be 60 degrees. I’m ready for Spring.

Snow and ice here last week and weekend, followed by rain and ice, then rain, with flooding, and today fairly warm. It’s supposed to be 60 F this weekend.

Meh, it’s the Pacific Northwest. Not too far away from where they grow those Walla Walla sweets, lauraw.

Well spotted, Deborah, but that was a different pair. Sheep do kinda look alike.

The thing about lamb, it always tastes like beef that’s gone rancid to me. Our neighbors being mostly sheep farmers, we get served it a lot.

There it is. I love that sweet lamb face—mama’s too. I’d like to bask in the sun. We’re feeling rather deprived here because the winter weather is lingering. Folks want to get their gardens planted, and be pulling radishes by Easter.

But yesterday was the 178th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo, which was a cold, damp miserable day, too (plus bullets and bayonets).

No snow here for a couple of weeks. At least, none falling. But the daytime temperatures have been far enough below freezing so that almost none of the fallen snow is melting, even on blacktop and concrete surfaces in direct sunlight. I’m about ready for winter to be at an end.

What a sweet picture, just bliss. Kinda like here, windows open, nice warm breeze blowing through the house…

Still subfreezing here. There was no midseason thaw this year either. So strange. This Winter has been no good at all. Send it back to the chef. *stamps foot*

I have grown to like lamb now, as long as it isn’t too funky. Every once in a while you get one that has been eating ditchweed or something.

Moving into Autumn here, tho the weather is definitely being bi-polar in it’s activity.

I like lamb, either in a nice Greek salad, or with mint sauce. Doesn’t stop me from thinking the live ones are cute, tho. 🙂

sigh.

Dreaming of a shepherd’s pie done right.

Daylight Savings Time starts tonight.

There’s a foot of snow on the grass.

Extreme cognitive dissonance here.
