*grins* Personally, I'm glad it's so warm. Last night I could hear the birds chirping. In December! Made me smile :]
True, it does mean that we'll have, like, floods of snow until late march, but still. I'd really like not to think about the reasons for the gossip about Poland being a country with polar bears and penguins :P And hey, it's warm *now* and I am leaving the computer ang going on a walk :] Have a nice evening, sweetheart :]
I have a small pussy willow tree in my front garden which has fluffy buds on it and the house across the way has a magnolia coming into bloom. Mind you the cold snap we had when we visited Scotland this weekend will have probably put a stop to that up there. It was -4 on Friday and Saturday night then back to flooding and gales on Sunday. It's all so weird.
It's just so odd, we've had several sharp frosts this last week and it's not discouraging anything. It's all just growing and blooming. The only thing that isn't is the rose in the front garden.
My hydrangeas still have beautiful blooms on them and no sign of them dying off, and there're big fat rosebuds on my climbing roses. My lilac tree has leaf buds, my fuschia is still flowering, and my penstemons are still looking good.
It is mad, isnt it. We had a cold snap down South here over the weekend and I thought that would put paid to all the blooming and budding all over the place - but no, all the flowering plants outside are still going strong !
I'm not complaning but I am sort of dreading what may lay in store for us in Jan/Feb =/
I actually rather miss the cold. I like the cold, still, bitingly sharp days we usually get in December. Instead, we get grey clouds and strong winds. And blooming plants.
The birds aren't even starting on the berries yet, there's too much else around for them still to eat.
