Meteorological Winter 2022-23

Outdoor work was completed in December after the neighbors’ trees dropped their leaves. Noted in email exchange with Raimund, high school friend and German foreign exchange student, the cold weather and snow forecast for Christmas Day. Shoveling five inches of snow in below zero temperatures is not the best way to celebrate a Holiday but needed to occur. January brought a number of mild, overcast, sometimes rainy days mixed with seasonable temperatures. First Robin, noted 1-30, ate mealworms voraciously. February was similar but with a few more colder days. Nonetheless, was able to get to Mc Coy park and hit off the Tee four times ahead of April senior softball practice. The first blooming Snow Drop 2-15. Trillium and Wood Poppies coming up in elevated wash stands as was Bleeding Heart, Blue Bells, and Hellebore in the wash tubs by the house. Hoping for blooms coinciding with emergence of Mason Bees in their house stored in my garage to protect them from the weather. On mild days, was able to use rainwater from catch pots to water the planters in the garage
