There is a clear difference between warm and cold, here. Even the cows are getting close to one another, it was so cold this morning.
It was in the 30's and we southerners and transplants pull out the winter coats when it goes down into the twenty's and 30s. We joke about it, but we've gotten sick too many times down here to take this fickle weather for granted. It was in the 70's earlier in the week and now we are back in the chilly weather. My plants are crying. I have 2 fig plants that haven't bloomed one leaf yet. I have to put them into pots. My pear trees have gone from white to green and I am waiting to put some spring flowers in the front yard. The rain caused the slowness of plantings in the yard. I am not a green thumb person, but we got some gifts from friends and I hope to maximize them and when I get figs, I will let you know.
My back is hurting, so my workout is on hiatis. We'll see how I feel tomorrow. :)
I love the way the little buds on the trees hang in there even when the temperatures dip. They seem to be saying:" We've got what it takes". Beauty is all around us and is speaking to us, cheering us on in a bigger metaphor ~ Things may not go the way we planned but our beauty and our lives even in the face of adversity have got what it takes.
