The Weather is Crazy, Crazy I Tell You!
These parts are a total mess, weather ways. Is it weather ways or weather wise? Same difference, maybe.
So 2011 of the Julian was the hottest and driest ever recorded in these parts. And so far, the winter of 2012 has been super wet and mild. Like the CB has enjoyed mass quantities of precipitation and only nine nightly frosts. Only one of the nightly frosts carried much sting.
Therefore, many perennials have already leafed out. The green ash, for example, has already leafed out. Good Goddess! The green ash leafed out during the first week of February. How crazy is that?
Last spring, if you want to call it that, spring, a few baby red buckeyes came up. The subsequent great heat killed them all. Killed them, I tell you.
This winter, so far, only one baby red buckeye has sprung to life. Here it is. Any bets on when it will go deciduous? Will it survive to this time next year? Mercy!
