The weather here in Southern Illinois has been quite Spring like. In fact, it was about 75 degrees! Being as it's mid-Winter, it should be below freezing, 32 degrees. It's been so warm, flowers are blooming out all around my yard.

Here's a picture I took of some daffodils blooming in my yard and they are five weeks earlier than last year. They're way ahead of schedule! Winter is not really over yet, so I'm afraid we might get one more cold spell and kill all my flowers and other budding plants.
