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!

I’m being barraged by Henry VIII of England. First Wolf Hall. Tonight it’s Lucy Worsley’s version….
Yeah, I know Henry’s symbol was the rose not the pansy. My wee joke. Plus, pansies are blooming now and roses aren’t.

I tried not to think much today, not about the festivities in another city, but about the outcome and implications.
Mostly I managed to just become boring.
