mid April and I saw snowflakes falling today. old man winter just won't let go. and it was in the mid 70's yesterday. immpossible to figure what's coming next. hard to imagine on a day like today, but soon you'll be out in the yard watering the plants and washing the car, spraying off the screens and such. pay attention to what happens that first time you fire up the hose and save yourself a big clean up job. if you left the hose connected to the outside faucet all winter there's a pretty good chance that things froze and cracked and are just waiting for you to open the outside faucet to leak.
