7th and 8th and warnings.....

It's been a Vivaldi day............. all four seasons. We've had everything, frost, rain, sunshine, hail, a biting wind, sunshine and more hail. Temperatures below freezing are promised for tonight. With clear skies, and the moon on it's back, it looks like the forecasters could be right.

My first warning is don't take weather forecasts from Seeker seriously. Summer just around the corner............ yeh, right!

The other warning is that Blogging can seriously damage your health. There was a small article in The Mail yesterday, which they had picked up from The New York Times, about the sudden death of two prolific Bloggers.

Russel Shaw, 60, of Fort Lauderdale had a heart attack, just months after his rival Marc Orchant, 50, had died of a massive coronary. It appears that Blog sites can pay up to £35,000 a year to writers, rewarding those whose material is popular and therefore brings in more advertising revenue.

Bloggers are swept into a relentless 24/7 competition to out do each other revealing new products or exposing corporate gaffes. One confessed, 'I haven't died yet' but added, 'At some point, I will have a nervous breakdown and be admitted to hospital, or something else will happen. This pressure is not sustainable.'

And I'm worried about only posting twice a week!

No worries darlin' just don't go too long, or there may be some blogger hauntings!

This weather...guess it doesn't matter what part of the world we are in...it has been beautifully warm here...I even saw a tulip tree in bloom...and yet by Sunday we have snow in the forecast again. Sigh.

How long I wonder before we will be complaining of the heat though?

The last drop of frost took all the flowers from the magnolia trees. It happen most years and is the one sad part of Spring.

Warmer weather, but no too warm, can't come soon enough for me Sunny. I'm a warm weather person.
