It was Spring for a few hours today
Spring in January? Sure felt that way as I worked in a t-shirt this afternoon.
It seems odd that a few bees are out in January and yet they seemed happy enough this afternoon visiting the few bloom in my yard.
Tomorrow more rain; no more sun. Oh well - it was nice while it lasted.

It's nice to see what the bloom on Aloe wickensii looks like - mine still hasn't chosen to bloom. Today looks to be our sunniest day this week and I hope to make the best of it as well.
ReplyDeleteFor the longest time I wasn't sure what was going to happen with the Aloe wickensii - the buds looked like pine cones for a month or more. This is the first time it's bloomed since I bought 2 yrs ago. It has a total of 6 blooms. I think it's a keeper.
