Roses are Red...

Well, actually my roses are pink.  And yes, I will have one flower bloomed out by tomorrow morning.  This twilight zone like weather we're having has really advanced a lot of things a few weeks ahead of schedule.

Not only is my knockout rose full of buds, but that my oakleaf hydrangea is filled with small buds.  I have a few iris blooming.  This particular variety is about two weeks ahead of schedule.  My blueberries are leafed out and blooming.  I also noticed my clematis is full of buds and they are swelling.

I hope the bugs aren't too bad this year, but I should know better.  I've already pulled a few ticks off after walking around, and there are a lot of flying "things".  There seem to be a lot of bumblebees out too.  They keep fighting amongst themselves and don't pay much attention to where they go during the quarrel.  I find myself ducking for cover when I hear them coming.

Probably the freakiest thing about our early warm up is that the crape myrtles are budded out.  They are about 2 months ahead of schedule.  Explain that!
