Where Is My Cold Winter?

     We have had an unusually warm winter so far this year.  So warm that my camellias and my tulip tree have bloomed prematurely.   Some moths have been frequenting my office window as I sit here at my computer at night.  I can see them fluttering on the other side of the blinds.  Where is my winter?

      After last year's tornado spread weed seeds, mold spores and more across the area, I was hoping for a cold, cold winter to kill some of it off.  I don't see that happening unless February brings the cold weather.  The camellias and tulip tree are beautiful, so I guess I will enjoy them while I can.  If February actually does bring cold weather, it will be the end of those blooms until next year.
