Predictions are for highs in the upper 70s today with sun.  That has been a rarity lately and it seemed like the rain would never end.  As for our temperatures, we’ll see if they are right today.  Lately, the predictions have been way off for our area, with our highs remaining much below normal.  I’m not planting many flowers this year.  It’s getting harder all the time for me to maintain my gardens, so I think I’ll just plant rose bushes where I don’t have perennials.  We’ll see how that works.  With the cold temperatures and all the rain that we’ve had, I haven’t gotten much done outdoors.
