I put these peaches and pears in the studio, which stays quite cool at night because the wood stove is only on while I am in there. The electric heaters are set to 6 degrees to keep the clay from freezing and so these didn't force as quickly as the ones in the house. But now even though I went to my parents house for Easter and I haven't had to use the wood stove for several days it is now warm enough to force these into bloom.
Just watched on the new tonight that the peaches and apricots in Ontario flowered ages ago in the early spring and they are worried about frost still. It hasn't been that warm here. The daphne bloomed a few weeks ago but the forsythia is still bare.
Curling season is over and I start back to work next week. This is another sign of real spring. To compensate for no curling I am starting yoga tonight in Kingsport. This is really just an excuse to avoid cycling for a while longer. (I need to limber up first...) I have already been on my bike though, I cycled to the store for something in March when we had three days of summer weather. I need to do more of this so I don't die on my charity ride in June.
I'm cycling for Team Ed again this year. Check out my donor page to support the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation in support of brain cancer research. Go to http://pmhf3.akaraisin.com/teamed2012

Now, I'm off to yoga. Oooooommmmmmm
