I'm gratuitously posting so y'all see my weather sticker at 22 oC right now. +22 oC, I mean! 😀
The main bird here on the farm right now is the junco ( http://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Dark-eyed_Junco/id).
I was laughing at them last week as they are a Canadian bird that flies down here for winter. 😆 😆 😆
But I did make sure they had warm water to drink and plenty of food. They'll soon be flying back north. Welcome them home!

Everything is starting to grow here. Here is a picture of my apple tree from today, not that it really goes dormant.

Very cool, everyone. Even though we can expect more cold and snow here in the east, it is nice to know that we are on the upswing! Supposed to be 67 here on Friday...going to Cape May NJ to check on the little summer place...YAY! 8)

Still no natural signs of spring way up here at 35 oN.
But the weather is great--as nice as late January was.
We took a few of the indoor palms and plants out on the patio for the afternoon and watered the heck out of them.
Here they are getting a little taste of what March and April will bring.

Your sticker reports 22C, that'd be good enough for me.
Good to get the plants out in those temps for a few hours.
We're cooling off for a week. 😡

I can`t wait for spring neither can the palms, bananas, and yuccas . Potted palms have been outside for a sun bake more than usual this winter.We are almost done with this winter crap here very soon! Apple, pear, cherry,plum,and peach blossoms soon.

UGH is right, Mike.
So much for jogging, huh, unless you strap on snowshoes...
I wanted to start digging a new palm/yucca bed at the front of the house.
Told the yuccas they have to wait. 😆
Winter's back...fortunately only a dusting of snow, but bloody cold again o'night. :lickice:
