Spring in the winter?

Blooms have been popping out all over recently even though the temperature is around thirty degrees on this 29th day of January, 2007. Plants seem to be confused and have been producing blossoms months ahead of time this year. No doubt because the weather has not been what it normally is this time of year. The reality of a warmer than usual winter as predicted by the weather service has brought a change and confusion to the usual process that plants go through as they begin the spring wakeup process.

Better enjoy these while they are around because blooms may not be as prolific this spring since many have arrived during the cold well ahead of time!
