Warm and wet

It's the middle of winter and the yard is a mess. That's normal. Winter winds bring down a lot of small branches that litter the yard. Rain and warm temperatures make the grass and weeds grow. This year we've had an explosion of cyclamen, and the primroses are starting to pop up as well.

Cyclamens in the North 40. This is the tree we've scheduled to be removed this winter.

It's too wet, of course, to get the mower out to cut the grass. Besides, it's nice to see the cyclamen and primroses. Hyacinth and daffodils are up as well, but their flowers are a while off, yet. The weather people say our morning lows will be close to freezing over the next few days.
