Lots of rain might be more of a problem making the pollen damp.<br /><br />It is getting cold again here, too. It's been very moderated for most of January so having it get cold again is a nuisance.thousandflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10577151568516965587noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-49420287753655904412014-02-02T06:45:43.522-08:002014-02-02T06:45:43.522-08:00oh I look forward to the photos of the lambs!oh I look forward to the photos of the lambs!Crafty Green Poethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02486633917197181851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-19937157653547217652014-02-02T05:56:35.410-08:002014-02-02T05:56:35.410-08:00John's comment is interesting - catkins are po...John's comment is interesting - catkins are pollinated by the wind - well we have had plenty of that so perhaps absence of bees is not so important after all.<br />Thanks for the visit.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-70944333661692275442014-02-02T03:12:09.196-08:002014-02-02T03:12:09.196-08:00Good day, Pat!

And strange that winter has hit just as the Chinese Spring Festival is going on. I'm an acupuncturist and fairly steeped in Chinese theory of life. To the Chinese folks regarding the seasons, it's not about the temperature, it's about the light. And, I heard the first truly spring sounding bird yesterday. A-TWEETA-TWEETA-TWEETA! And, it's supposed to snow tomorrow.

It is quite a bit colder too, so not at all pleasant outside. In spite of all that we have two daffodils almost out but I wonder how long they will stand up in the wind.
