Most of the time you just can't beat the weather here in North Carolina! But some years, spring arrives a little too early! The fruit trees have bloomed. The Azaleas are almost in full bloom. It has felt like summer these last few days...
This Chocolate vine is covered in buds and smells delicious...
Then we have a cold front come through!!! We woke to thunderstorms this morning. The sky is hazy and stormy looking in the pictures. The weatherman says it could drop as low as 31 degrees tonight! That's freezing! A few years ago we had a hard freeze after everything was in full bloom. I remember the Hostas were frozen and when they thawed, the yard smelled like rotten cabbage. It was awful!
Sharing pictures in case everything freezes tonight...
Anyone know the name of this tree? It is wild and was growing here when we bought the property. This is the same tree the Cardinals flock to in the wintertime.
The Snowball bush has lots of blooms that have not turned white yet...
Been meaning to tell you that we have a new female Muscovy duck. Since our old duck couple were killed earlier this year, we have been searching for a friend for our duck, "Shelby". You may remember the story of the duck from Shelby's farm who grew up thinking she was a chicken.
"Shelby' is on the left and her new friend "Nellie" on the right.
Thanks for stopping by. I can't decide if I want to pull out all the old sheets in the house and try covering some of the blossoms in the yard or just say "the heck with it"! The temperature is beginning to drop even now!
Love,
Henny Penny
