These last few days have been hot and sunny -- temperatures have been reaching 26 degrees Celsius, or close to 80 degrees Fahrenheit.... and it is winter here in Canada! It was initially very pleasant -- long walks on the Bruce Trail with a friend, early gardening, getting a tan and so forth -- by now it just seems strange. The crocuses shown in the photo were drooping by this evening. Yet I noticed that the Bloodroot along the north side of my house has shown no inclination to emerge.
