Oh my, Mother Nature has been so busy lately, with our early February more like April weather. Came home from work to find a newly hatched Monarch butterfly, right out of the chrysalis. There are a few more in various spots throughout the front garden, all about ready to hatch, and at least half a dozen fat & happy Monarch caterpillars meandering about the milkweed plants. I saw at least 30 Cedar Waxwings in the tippy top of a nearby tree; they are so handsome & we don't often see them. We're wondering if the Goldfinches will stop by on their way home; usually we are overrun with them about now. Our white azalea bush is already blooming, along with several of the African Iris and some Cosmos in orange & yellow. I just hope we don't get a surprise frost. This early spring reminds me of 1998 when DH & I got married on Valentine's Day!
Sorry, no pictures just now but will post some really soon! Hope you are enjoying your February, whatever the weather!
I'm enjoying the mild weather and hope it continues. No complaints here!
