       Whoops I forgot to post yesterday.  Unbelievable work to do to get ready for the greenhouse opening.  Larry worked on cleaning up the front of the old store.  It looks good.  I am working on the greenhouse turning it from a growing greenhouse to a retail greenhouse.  IT is slowly coming.  Larry needs to cut down a tree that died by greenhouse and cut off some branches.  As always when you have one job, you need to complete 2 more to be able to do that.  We had to move pots around the camper which is a club house for our grandkids, and an office for me in the summer. Today’s project for Larry work on those trees.  I will be working on more cleaning and watering and hopefully a little more planting. 
Weather wise it is cooler out with temperatures around freezing this morning.  We are having cloudy skies so will keep it cooler today.  Enjoy your weekend, and hopefully you can work a little in your gardens doing what you have to do.

What will our weather be like in May?  Here is what the Old Farmers’ almanac says. 
What weather can we expect for May 2024? Looks like spring continues with a warm, wet May.
May Forecast 2024
Overall, May looks to be warm across much of the eastern U.S., including the Great Lakes, eastern Ohio Valley, and much of the South. We expect below-average temperatures from the Plains to the Upper Midwest. Just as on the East Coast, the West Coast of the U.S. and much of the Rockies will be warmer than average, along with Alaska. Near-normal temps will prevail in Hawaii.
Along with this warmth in the eastern U.S., we do expect a wet May, which could mean a good amount of thunderstorm activity. Near- to below-average rainfall is expected from the Great Lakes and Ohio Valley westward to the Upper Midwest and Heartland, as well as the northern Plains and northern Rockies. Wetter weather will get suppressed farther south from the southern Plains back through the Desert Southwest. The West Coast will generally be on the drier side.
What do you think about this forecast?  We will see if it is correct.
