dreaming of stuff

My poor plants are all confused by this weather :( We’re having quite the warm winter! I have daffodils trying to come up but not flowering. As you can see, part of my lavender is turning yellow and dying while other parts are budding new lavender! My pomegranate tree which should be dormant right now is sprouting new leaves…and a couple of volunteer tomato plants have come up around the pomegranate tree from the compost I put in there. And in mid january, they’re still thriving!

We had a perfectly stormy day today here in New Orleans :)

Love my weather stick. When the weather is good, it points upward…when it’s rainy, it points down. It’s pointing down now.

Such a beautiful day outside in New Orleans. We barbecued an put some fresh corn on the grill and ate outside.

I mounted my weather stick today after work :D I heard about these and had to go order a few. Got one for myself and four as gifts. They’re really cool. It’s an old folk method of telling the weather. They’re made of dogwood and they point upwards when the weather is good and when the weather is looking bad, they turn downwards. Neat, eh? I can’t remember the store I bought them from, but here’s a link to another website that sells them from the same manufacturer that I got them from.
