Today, the 60F temperatures beckoned me outside again, if only to take a few more soil samples in between meetings and other work to be done. Tomorrow, we are told, we should expect sleet.

So I watched this fellow for awhile.

The best part about winter gardening in the south is the clear, brilliant blue sky. Even when it’s cold, skies this blue keep the winter blahs at bay. A bit.

Still, I am ready for spring.
