One of my bushes is starting to form buds! Too soon, too soon! Our coldest month is usually February, we are having a little January thaw, highs in the mid 40s (Fahrenheit) this week. Next week colder, highs in the low 30s. For you Celsius users, that’s about 0. I’m thinking I might have some burns this spring from the cold dips.
The sun was trying to shine through the clouds this morning but only a lovely golden glow could get through them. I’m not often out at night, but the sunset was a colorful one right on the horizon, but just a visual inch above it was leaden grey and heavy looking.
The fog this morning meant I couldn’t see far, and the bulk of the ridges of South Mountain were shrouded and pale. It seemed a sea of shifting, swirling grey. I saw the ocean like that, in the Atlantic the fog often rolls over the masts and closes you off from the rest of the world. Sounds peaceful but actually quite stressful, you learn not to depend solely on technical aids. Things can go wrong. Natural gas carriers in the shipping lanes were the worst, really dicey. Ah memories!
