That's been the trouble with 2011 weather...wild swings toward the extremes of weather. I felt bad for all the people that were getting too many storms, flooding, hurricanes, tornados and such during the year...and drought, of course. I hope 2012 will be better. What rain we HAVE gotten lately has taken our county out of Exceptional and down to Extreme drought...thank God for that! And we have a good chance for rain this weekend. Some of the wildflower species are up that should be up in fall...but also I've seen little plants that shouldn't be up until spring...poor confused things, they'll die this winter. And then there's a few hummingbirds around here...go figure! I'm wondering if those will stay all winter...never seen any in November/December before.
I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B.White
Integrity can never be taken. It can only be given, and I wasn't going to give it up to these people. Gary Mowad
