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.

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

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

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

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

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

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!

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

The early bulbs are…flowering? fluorescing?
Why is it never Woodchuck Day?*
This has been on my mind for…12 days….

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

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.(!!)

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.

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.

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

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

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

And the not-quince quince, too!
Happy February!
