Some of the trees behind the Cosy Cabin look to be ready to spring: I observed these fuzzy buds (Latin name (possibly) fuzzii budensis), perhaps indicative of imminent leaves, though I don’t know of any leaves that start out as rolled up fluff. Then again, I’m no botanist.
But, in case I was becoming too forward in hoping for the new season, this little guy and a million or so of his fellows descended on the fuzzy buds and elsewhere in the back yard later in the day.
Well, spring has to come some time: the cats have been noticing more birds out the windows, after all.
Old Man Winter and Spring are still duking it out as to whom is the victor right now.
ReplyDeleteThe trees in my yard are coming back to life quite nicely. Of course, so are the weeds...
ReplyDeleteWhat the fluff was that crystal white stuff! Melt, thaw, run off! Glad to say it has been above freezing at night for the past 3 nights! Too soon to get too excited, though.
ReplyDeleteWe don't get much of a spring here in Phila, (maybe for 5 minutes). We usually go from winter right into summer. But this year we have already had some days in the 70's and one day in the 80's. So hopefully this year will be different and we'll get a spring.
ReplyDeletePhiladelphia! Loved Philly. And you're right. Right across the Delaware, it was the same..hot and humid right after the day of Spring.
DeleteYou're absolutely correct, Katie. Our spring/summer weather is hot and humid.
DeleteI do like that Latin name for the buds. 😁
ReplyDeleteWhen Spring definitely arrives, send her our way, please! Everything here is coated in ice. Lots of Spring birds, though!
Spring has definitely arrived here and looks like staying for a while. The birds are back in full force.
