Bad Boomer's Place

Well, we are nearing the end of a stretch of several days here in the Seattle area that have been nothing but sun and temperatures approaching 60 degrees.  And this is the middle of February!  Here in Sequim, it has been very nice with little wind.  This has been a chance to do some yard work without freezing!

When we get these exceptionally nice days in the middle of winter, it confuses everything.  It confuses the people, the plants, and the animals.  This is not a complaint, just an observation.  The red-winged blackbirds are back at my feeders now, but I do not know if this is too soon or not.  I cleaned out the feeders and re-filled them yesterday, and today I weeded out the potted plants and cut them back to remove the dead parts.  Yesterday, I did the same thing with the planted area between the walkway and the house.

I also planted two small blueberry bushes, but the freezing nights seem to have devastated them.  I am hoping they recover in the spring.  It is not spring yet, no matter how much it feels like it!
