Call them Teddy bears or pandas. The bumblebee is a happy sight after a long winter!

Pea Weather

When to plant peas

If you live in Ohio. You want to plant the seeds on the 1st day of spring. No matter the forecast.

It's Ohio, so check back. I don't suggest a "polar vortex" type of bizarre weather situation.

Until Tomorrow! Smile On!
