Musings

Eyes alert

Spring fleur combo

Those white blobs center right and right background are white azalea blooms. Spring is waaaaay too early for the nonce. Mid-70s tomorrow, then the temps are to back down closer to normal. Global warming is climate not weather, but can be observed in weather patterns.

Time-folding

Origami crane

We moved through time and across space today. We went from the house of Earl…and origami cranes…

Spanish moss blowing in the wind

…to Spanish moss…and home! ATL traffic conspired to block us with rush hour traffic, but NO!.

Still life x2 and cats x2

Copenhagen of FL

Here’s a version of the Copenhagen mermaid, watched over by a very large conch shell….

Rattan garbage

This I couldn’t quite figure out; I don’t think the chair is quite garbage, maybe the protector of the waste-pro container?

Whopper

I’d like you to meet Whopper. He loves to show off his belly. When he sleeps under the car, it looks like he’s changing the oil.

Molly Mindy cat

Molly and Mindy are chickens. The cat isn’t waiting for them, just enjoying the breeze.

These coconuts are not ripe

Coconut palm duo

Since the great tree-fall events, I have little interest in wind-storms…just too unsettling. Look at this sassy pair of coconut palms, still attempting to grow symmetrically after trimming by the latest hurricane!

Report (catching up)

Lady doodle bug

I took my shower today with three ladybugs. [Get yer thoughts outta the gutter.]

Daffy spring

The early bulbs are…flowering? fluorescing?

Why is it never Woodchuck Day?*

This has been on my mind for…12 days….

Cheering me up

Camillia bud

I love that the camellias come out in February, and usually before.

GooFiber looms

Goofiber installation

I think we’re another step closer to having GooFiber functional on our street. We are ready; I noticed our existing ComCast line is strung through the bushes.(!!)

Fennel sprouts

On the winter-fading(?) front, the fennel is sprouting! Is this the fourth year for the mother-plant? This is the second year (I think) for this volunteer.

Honeysuckle only, no rose

Honeysuckle

This is not the honeysuckle that’s most common in these parts, but the powerful scent is exactly what you’d expect…and I could detect it from several steps away when the sun was out.

Blast-off

Quince blossoms droplets

Not long after the rain started, we decided to run out to do errands (we do like to eat, y’know).

Rocket robot feet

And on the front window of the store, a sky-blue robot named Mike, with these rocket-feet.

Fleurs au soleil

May blossoms Ithink

I hadn’t realized these are (already?) blooming!

Quince blossom

And the not-quince quince, too!

Happy February!
