1. But that's only good or bad depending on where you live.
Plants bloom all year round here in Phoenix. And the best thing - no snow.... ever!!!:bounce:

3. Can you get over this weather? It is almost 60 again today.
Not a bad thing for my heating bill, however.

:bounce:

I wonder if we will have an exceptionally hard February?

8. Yes, it probably is, but at this rate, I will at least be
able to afford a funeral.

5. I had to run my sprinklers, to save what greenery I have left...
no rain in sooo long! I feel like my lawn was going to spontaneously combust.

7. Yeah, I live in Chicago and I hardly needed a coat today. It's been
well above average for nearly a month and that is so freaky. Don't get me wrong, I really, really hate winter and have wanted to move somewhere more temperate since I was a kid. Circumstances got in the way and I'm still here. But January in Chicago should be cold. Very cold. And snowy. Not warm and mild. This is just too freaky. I think it's already too late for our environment.

11. Well you wouldn't recognize it today. It's like April.
We're supposed to get snow over the weekend but the temps are going right back up so it's going to melt immediately.

16. Blossoms on some trees in N. California
and I saw a honey bee Sunday, it landed on my laundry I was hanging out. Then my neighbor had a BBQ, but alas, the rain came back on Tuesday.
