Spring Break

BY SKEETER
My plans of continuing to post on our Christmas Trip to Washington D.C. has been put on hold for now. The temps have climbed here in my Georgia Gardens and it is way too nice to be inside sitting at the computer. We have really had a mild winter thus far and certain things such as this Wandering Jew Plant have yet to die!
We are wearing shorts and tee shirts in the month of January! This weather shall change with a nasty cold front expected by Thursday. I must get myself into the garden for some unexpected play time. And just look, the Daffodils are showing sings of an early bloom! Guess you could say, we are having a little SPRING BREAK, In the Garden...

  1. Chciałabym mieć taką zimę i oglądać żonkile w styczniu w ogrodzie. Pozdrawiam.
    I would like to have this winter and watch the daffodils in the garden in January. Yours.

    1. We normally have a much milder winter then you Troutbirder but not this mild. It is crazy but I am enjoying every minute of it. Just hope a freeze does not harm the things already popping up on us...

  3. Yes, the weather has been weird here too. The cold front has stalled just west of us, and it has been warm, cloudy, and humid for the past few days. I'd rather have sunshine while I work outside, but at least the temps are more "bearable" as they are now. That's a cute one you have there.

    1. I was hoping the front would stall but we do need the rain. I am out in the garden getting a jump on the many weeds that are already popping up...

    1. Yikes, you can keep your ice but please send some of that rain our way. We are in such a need for a lot of rain....

  5. We almost had shorts weather this past week too. It was 64° on Sunday, but we are back in the twenties today. Must be nice to have the more mild climate.

    1. It was another beautiful day in the Garden! I pulled weeds, cut the banana tree, trimmed and mowed the winter rye grass. The grass looks awesome and I must say it brightens up my day. One more day of warm temps then we should have your front...

  8. Oh my goodness, shorts and T-shirts?! I'm sitting here at the computer with a robe over my clothes because even the house feels chilly:) Enjoy your garden time and spring break for as long as it lasts. Can't wait to see some daffodils bursting through the soil here, too, but I think I'm going to have to wait awhile.
