January 31

The last day of January and it reached 68 today! Crazy warm even for SW Missouri!
Daffodils are coming up, grass is greening up! Where has our winter been. We did have a cold snap or two where I had to break ice for the cattle to get to their water. There’s been lots of cloudy days, loads of wind. Snow, a few flakes!
I am not complaining. I did some Spring cleaning today, including the front porch where the plants I am wintering over are doing great!
I am a bit concerned about the lack of cold and what that will bring when warm weather really arrives. Are the insects going to take over?
