Normally, winters in Charlotte are pretty mild, this year being no exception. It seems that the plants know it too. During my walk, I’m noticing several plants deciding to sprout here at the end of January. Many trees have their springtime buds on and ready to go, though they’ve not blossomed just yet.
This is a nice message of hope and transition. Spring is on the way … at least here in the south! Heck! Daylight Saving’s Time starts in 2 weeks, which seems quite ridiculous, but I’m OK with it.

We had about 1 inch snow during the night and temperature was 22 at 6 am. Not sure about you guys but we sure do need the moisture out here. It is dry and we do not need more fires like we had last year. This morning I read where the Fern Lake fire in Rocky Mountain National Park is still smoldering even under a foot of snow. enjoy the blooms!

Brrrrrskis!
We’ve had a bit of rain, so we are OK on moisture. Man. Fire still smoldering under a foot of snow. That’s intense!
We ended up with about 3″ of snow in Highlands Ranch last night – much needed moisture, as Monte indicated. Still, I’d rather have it rain than snow, snow I’m anxious for spring, and a few buds popping out.
Well, I’ll try to keep you posted on the progress of spring, John.
Our snow is quickly turning to water and we even had some heavy rain today. It’s quite warm for this time of year but not all that unusual. I’d like to see a few more snow days because I like the photo ops. But we’re months away from seeing any sprouts like this.
By the way, please excuse this shameless bit of self promotion, but just in case you haven’t noticed, I have relocated to two new blogs. One at 2clicksaway.wordpress.com and another at lightscatter.wordpress.com. Any opinion you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No problem about the shameless promo! What are friends for, man?
I’ll most certainly have to stop at your new blogs (again). I saw your promo on Earl’s blog, so it’s working! LOL
That is really quite cruel flaunting that spring stuff Paul.
