First I found a dandelion trying to bloom and then this wildflower or flowering grass blooming. It seems too cold, but perhaps the fallen leaves provide enough warmth to encourage blooming.

I walk by this yard every morning, but it’s not until this time of year that I stop to take notice.

A burst of sunshine behind a new African Violet leaf while it’s very cold outside. I hear there may be spring like temperatures next week.

I’ve been collecting specimens for my sketchbook and the honey locust leaves and spines fell upon my iPad cover. Wondering how long it will take to fully feel the relief of a new president and vice president after four long awful years.

The sun shining on my African violet, while humming My Girl by the Temptations. The hairs help regulate temperatures and ward off unwanted critters.

We had a very mild winter last year, so imagine my surprise discovering that my very long legged dog was afraid of the foot of snow that fell last night.

My Baptisia (false indigo) leaves after the rain. The blue flowers are now long gone, but it is interesting how the leaves turn a bluish gray.

This one was stuck to the bumper of my car on a brighter day after some showers. May everyone be safe and sensible in the US for Thanksgiving Day tomorrow. Staying away one year will make the years ahead better for all.
