deuces wild Posted March 17, 2006 Report Share Posted March 17, 2006 ........to winter that is, at least for us on this side of the globe. Winter officially ends (according to the calender) on Monday, although temps for the coming week here are expected to stay in the 30's (F).The birds are already chirping, trees are budding and the grass is turning greener. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nellie2 Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 Thank goodness for that... I thought I had my calendar messed up for a minute.The frogs in our pond have been trying to breed for weeks... they were going great guns then we had that big dump of snow and the weather went bitter again. I will be glad to see some sunshine... I've had enough of winter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchful Posted March 18, 2006 Report Share Posted March 18, 2006 That brings back memories of our pond. We had so much frogspawn one year that it actually froze in lumps above the surface but, when the temperature warmed up, they all eventually survived and we had to take a few bucketsful of tadpoles away to a nearby lodge :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only thing that will stop a league match is rain so hard that there is lying water on the green. As I play crown green and not lawn bowls, this does not happen very often, as the crown causes most of the water to run off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
