My Goddess, it’s the last day of February already! Where did the time go…

It’s been unseasonably warm this last week. Not that I’m complaining. I actually woke up very early this morning and couldn’t get back to sleep, so I laid there and watched the day emerge while listening to a lone finch herald the dwaning light.

Going downstairs, I turned on the coffee maker and opened the back door so The Boyz and I could see “what’s what” – including this:

I wish I could say the sky remained as beautiful the rest of the day. However, there were some intermittent patches of blue that managed to peek through. Spring has definitely sprung around here, though.

Even though she’s putting out flowers I’m not giving my Datura any food because she’ll be getting a haircut mid-March. In the meantime we will enjoy these two flowers.

In the Concrete Jungle, I lost two cyclamen while the “weaker” of the three has gone gangbusters! Have no idea why this happened as I’ve had these plants for a few years now.

Like many of the other plants in the CJ, the NOID gasteria is blooming almost a month early.

AND…drum roll please…my “Onyx Odyssey” hellebore is blooming and she is GORGEOUS!!!

Don’t think for a minute that The Boyz aren’t enjoying being outdoors again, hanging with their Maman, watching the birds (and bees) come and go.

While in Lowe’s a couple of weeks ago I picked up a little fern for my bedroom: “Silver Lady®” Tree Fern. The price was right and it was marked as a SHADE plant. I didn’t do the research until I got it home AND it should do just fine indoors. It’ll be a bigun’ though, topping out at 3′ high and 2′ wide. I shall have to keep it trimmed.

In all things of nature, there is something of the marvelous.
