February first was unusually warm, not that you can tell it from this picture.


This one shows it a little better--the prairie dogs spend most of the winter down in their burrows, but on this day there were four of them out enjoying the weather.


Someone recently posted a pic of a very similar plant, blooming in midwinter, who was that--or was it on facebook? This appears to be some kind of groundsel, so far as I can tell. (Senecio sp?)

I've been out looking at my gardens, and my response is Holy Crap, things are coming up all over the place! I hope they don't then get squelched by snow or low temps.

That last plant, the groundsel, really triggered a memory for me! This used to grow everywhere in the highlands of Scotland and I loved the little packaged flowers. Wow, I had completely forgotten about it.
