Yes, same here, we had a beautiful day on Sunday, and did clear some leaves off the property and walked around looking at what's sprouting. Then yesterday rain and today it sounds like parts of the US, perhaps here included, have freeze warnings. Such is the unpredictable weather of spring. Thanks for stopping by!

Yesterday it was in the mid 70s. Today it's barely reached 50 and the wind is howling like March winds are known to do. I used to brag about my beautiful front lawn garden but weather changes over the years have made me a little more lazy. I am still planning to plant some azaleas though.

My husband went around with a turkey baster and put Diatomaceous Earth (dry powdery) in all the cracks and crevices that I've seen them coming in and out of two days ago and yesterday the difference was dramatic, only one ant. That doesn't mean that we won't see them come from some other area of the house, but it's a start! The D. Earth is all natural, a non-chemical solution. Best of success in fighting the battle!

They're driving me crazy! Even got into my urn of water that I use for making our coffee. Perhaps it's because of the drought and extreme heat conditions we've had although it is cooler now and we are getting rain. We’re battling a way with ants this year in our home. We don’t usually.

At the end of the season we pile the leaves on thick, and they need removing before I can do anything in the garden. Thank you for stopping by and for your comment. Happy gardening! Hi Lisa,

They are FREE wonderful fertilzer and mulch (that holds water and nourishment) for your plants! If you do not like the look of "Forest Floor" decor in your beds than you can still leave them there for all their benefits and cover them with other mulch of your choosing...remember if you rake them out it gives the weeds more light and room to florish!
