    Here it is, the 20th of February....

    ...and the fruit trees are starting to bud/bloom out in central Texas. Next thing you know, the Bluebonnets will be in bloom.

    And then the freeze will occur killing them again. Well maybe not it texas, but was 65 here Saturday, and upper 50's yesterday.

    Yep, waiting on the traditional Easter freeze to zap them.

    I do remember one Winter last century that was so rainy and warm, that even the Johnson Grass and Bermuda Grass stayed green all Winter. Back in the mid 80s as I recall.

    Scary part of this warmth in the midwest is the guaranteed drop in temp which brings the possibilities of a massive tornado outbreak. Indiana has been about 20 to 30 degrees above normal, with predictions of a cold front moving through at the end of the week. Everything is ripe and right for some really bad stuff from the sky.

    Yeah, we had a heavy line of thunderstorms come thru at 4:30pm yesterday, with tornado warning for our immediate area. San Antonio got hit with something last night; straight line winds or tornado.
    Warm, beautiful sunshine and calm wind right now.p

    Spotted some Robins here today. That's way early maybe they know something
    Pruned a tree yesterday and the sap was flowing pretty good
    I'll take it while I can, I like having the windows open
    For peace of mind, resign as general manager of the universe
