Has your weather started changing

[highup]

I just came across this, and I haven't been paying attention to what was going on with the extreme cold weather in the central and eastern parts of the country.
Is the flooding about to begin where any of you live?

Snow is going north of us. Severe T storms are going south of us. just expecting some rain.

I was expecting some rain but my little weather station just shows clouds and right now the sun is out nice and bright. If the weatherman are wrong, sometimes, like right now, I don't mind.

We are to be in the 40's for the next couple of days but super rain on Wed.

Rained all day yesterday. Kinda a wet winter for Phoenix in general but the rain softened the soil enough to topple one of our cacti. I get to clean that mess up when I get home and for those of you that don’t know them sum bitches are heavy. Heavy with pokey things all over themselves.

We had this dangerous monstrosity on the back patio when we bought the house. The quills are up to 6" long and razor sharp. So that's just what you want right there where you party! We were debating keeping it so the brick planter came out, I trimmed it down then later when we did the concrete and pavers I deleted that thing. It was pretty freaking difficult to demo and haul off!! Got bit dozens of times. I'm happy we deleted that. There was a different cactus tree------MUCH BIGGER in the front that eventually got demoed out------even harder to get that root ball.

In that second image, babies?
I think you could sell those to people you don't like. ......it would take a few years till they got the hint.

Yes, those babies will eventually grow to the same size as the mother plant I'm told. Pretty sure she gave those to friends.

Crazy thing is how expensive cacti are, way more expensive than you would think especially years later when you’re dealing with removing one.

Hell, you should see the estimates I got to remove them! The "prickly pear" tree in the front yard the guy wanted $700. I got my buddy and his big, strapping young son to help me pull the root ball after I have hacked the limbs down and hauled them off to the dump. It was a lot of man hour and AGAIN I got bit about a dozen times by the needles. I never learn. The one in the photos from the back didn't have much root system so it was just a delicate matter of chopping it up. VERY DANGEROUS!
