It will be interesting to see. We had some very cold weather a couple of months ago, which was not unusual for this area. What was unusual was that there was no snow cover at all, so the ground was not protected from the cold like it usually is.
I am hoping that the cold killed lots of the wasps that plague us most Summers. If it cut down on mosquitoes and ticks that would be great.
On May 18, 1980, Mt St. Helens blew its top and my area got about 3 inches of volcanic ash dropped on it. That was a huge mess to clean up, as the ash covered everything. I washed it off the house roof and wet down my yard so the grass would come through. I had already planted my garden, so we just kept watering. Funny thing was that our garden was never better than that year. It was kind of eerie that Summer, as there were almost no insects around, and fairly few birds. Hopefully that was a once-in-a-lifetime incident, but it sure was nice not to have to fight the insects.
Maybe this Summer will also have fewer insects around than usual. I hope!
