This past weekend was another beautiful one. For the past month or so, regardless of how the weekday weather was, the weekends have been sunny and warm, with highs in the 60s and 70s. The groundhog was right! Even for Atlanta, this is unusual February weather. Some spring trees are already in bloom, which has set off a mild panic among gardeners and farmers across the region, my father among them, that there is a nasty late freeze on the way to ruin this year’s crop. (I’m sure my dad has his space heaters and tarps at the ready.)
I snapped this photo on my cell phone on Saturday morning when we took our pup Otto (who y’all will meet soon, if you haven’t already) to the park:
There’s really nothing like springtime in Atlanta. So many pretty colors! I can’t wait for the grass to green and the bare branches to blossom. This reminds me, though, that I should probably start stocking up on Zyrtec…
Jealous! It is still way cold and barren here.
