LJ Idol: Morgenmuffel

[ryl]

The end of winter is a sad time for me. I love the cold, the frost in the morning, the promise of a snowy day. But the Earth turns, the seasons change, and winter warms into spring. I always see the first really warm day of the year as a personal insult, especially when the winter was as short as this year's was. We had a 70-degree day at Christmas

I remember the Blizzard of '93! And I love gardening, even though I haven't been able to do much recently. "Dirt is seasonal coffee" is a wonderful image! :)

I was living near Charlotte at the time so we didn't get as much snow as the mountains did, but I vividly remember the thundersnows. First time I ever experienced those.

Thank you for sharing, I enjoyed learning the wonderfully strange names these plants are called

The app I use (Picture This) gives a long list of the various plant names in the identification. My favorite name is the "Panickledleaf Ticktrefoil" aka "Velcro Vine."

I am a fall and winter person too. I would like spring if we actually had it. Seems we get one or two days in the 70s then suddenly, 80's and 90's with all that humidity.

dirt is seasonal coffee. I can relate. I am waiting until next week to get in my flower garden.

Yeah, that's like it is here. Except it just gets muggy in the mountains which is why I live here now.
