We enjoyed our 78°F days, but then the weekend brought us rain. The wind was terrible, but we still had breaks in the day to do some outdoor adventuring. We have a tree down, and a few large tree limbs down due to the high winds. Monday morning it was 21°F! A big swing in temperature for us.
If you saw my post about the "blind date" with a puzzle, I have some news about that. My husband said to toss it in the garbage and chalk it up as we were duped in the purchase.
I however, took photos, and contacted the store we purchased it at. Mind you, we bought it January 31st, and we just finished it. I was nice and polite, but to the point about our disappointment on the expense and product.
The store responded back to me. I'm told they purchase them from a vendor from California, and were as disappointed as we were. She said they were supposed to all be "new" puzzles. I explained to her that that the box was even falling apart.
They are looking into new vendors now, and we got a refund. It pays to inquire. Thankfully, I had taken a photo of the purchase while at the store too.
So we were not being duped by the store, and they were being duped by their vendor/supplier. If that is true. I do find it odd a business would buy pre-wrapped puzzles to sell. Why not wrap them yourself? Anyway, we got a refund, including tax.
I tried a suggested mix of essential oils on cotton balls, and placed them in a few windows, to deter those nasty orange ladybug pests from entering. The next morning there were 4 in the same window.
The weather on this particular day was absolutely fantastic. It was like a breath of fresh air (yes, and with windows open once again). I spared you from seeing all of my laundry, ha ha!

Glad you got your puzzle frustrations settled.
Even as warm as it is here, we still do not plant anything that might be fragile until April 10 which is our last ever recorded hard freeze day. I had rather err on the side of caution than lose plantings.
You are so right about the nice weather, especially if it’s been awhile. Looks like Spring is starting to win the battle - spring has never failed us before.
Anne in the kitchen, unless it's peas or a cold weather plant in the vegetable garden (and right now it's super wet out there), we can't really plant until mid-May or later here. Yes, glad we got a refund on the puzzle.
Debby, we are so much enjoying the nice days now. It's so refreshing after a long winteer.
