Springtime in February? Ridiculous
After two weeks of unseasonably warm weather with nothing below freezing, Mother Nature has been lulled into a false sense of security, and that’s not a good thing.

This Cherry tree is a full month ahead of schedule…
The Forsythia must think it’s mid-March…
The hardwoods in the forests are already budding out…
Japanese Magnolias just couldn’t wait…
Daffodils are opening all along the roadways…
And these Phlox must think it’s Easter already…
Who knows? Perhaps these mountains are just paying tribute to Billy Graham. For decades he has lived just over the Eastern Continental Divide from here near Black Mountain.
