The first almond flower

We had an even earlier first flower this year. July 30th was the first sighting for the 2015 harvest season (February).

Four days later, things are starting to burst.


We have had an incredible amount of rain this winter in addition to the normal winter time high humidity. In the morning, things are just dripping with water including the leaves on this silverleaf poplar tree. 


The handlers haven't even burned half their winter allotment of firewood but that hasn't stopped Keika from snuggling where snuggling should happen.


The plastic was pulled back from the garden this morning and ....a tomato was discovered. While I'm not keen on tomatoes, the handlers seem to show a lot of excitement for them.


So...maybe winter is over. The big question is when will things dry out?
