Frost on May 3rd, Seriously?

At the rate we're going my spring flowers are never going to bloom.  I see them blooming in towns but mine are still trying to bud.  I want to plant a small veggie garden this year but it's hard to get enthused when it's so cold and windy.  Maybe tonight I'll go out and work in the back yard.  The front yard is, of course, still a mess.  That isn't a complaint, that's just a fact.  You have to tear it up to fix it up!!!  I've been working in my east side flower garden and I was pleased to see that the perrenials that I planted last year are coming up.  I thought they hadn't made it through the winter but finally they are braving the cold and peaking through.  Our room is progressing--at the moment we are waiting for the gas line to be run and then the fireplace will be set.  After that the insulation and drywall.  They are measuring this week for the carpet and getting that ordered also.  After I see it in the room I'll pick paint colors.  This is going to be so awesome!!!
