Meanwhile...

 Our wintery weather continues, but it is not all that bad. Highs remain above freezing, precipitation has not been significant, and roads are safe. This has been a relatively mild January and February, in that we really haven't had much in the way of truly cold winter weather. And this latest event will be ending soon. 

My private garden was very lush last summer. It's always hard to believe that it can keep coming back, year after year. It looks quite dead at this time.

 I hope this proves to be more than an empty threat. Take the bastards down.

Resistance?

The Norther!

 A cold turn, but not VERY cold and not much, if any precipitation in any form is likely. Fine with me. I have a feeling that 2025 will be the hottest year on record, and that 2026 will top that, and so on. Anthropocene extinction event unfolding? Maybe not. Maybe just a tremendous die-back. A great cascade of deaths among all animal species, and the survivors must adapt to a greatly changed planet. But this is neither here nor there. I like to live in the past anyway. 

More of 2024 here. 

Another Nice Day!

 For February, this weather is fantastic! 

All of these photos were taken last summer, and I'll continue with last summer, and into the latter parts of 2024. All is dead now. Very much unlike this, but I hope for another jungle this summer. I like some jungle here and some meadow there, and an island wherein to chill and enjoy an iced drink or two. 

Plenty Warm!

 Very pleasant weather for February and nothing very extreme in the long term forecast. I like that.
