It’s bleak, slushing snow/rain, very bleak and BLAH!!

Is slushing a word? Maybe not – but it’s what’s happening out there. Despairing of this. The temperature dropped a full 20 degrees in the last 3 hours.
Went to the tulip festival yesterday knowing the week's outlook looked grim. Sorry to say a LOT of the tulips that were up were spent and a lot still in their bud stages; which is good because the weather (wind) the next few days will certainly do the ones up in. Think I took a few good photos – even with the grey bleak sky. Before I left – I went into the garden shop and saw this plaque:

Rain – what Gardeners get sent so they can get caught up on housework.
Enough with the housework I say. How about some nice warm consistent weather??
So - what to do on a week like this?  besides wish for something else? 
Diagram out your vegetable garden. Seed for transplants you can't buy indoors and get them ready. If you haven't started garden boxes yet - figure out where you will put them.....lot's of things can still be done.
