On the ridge last evening, January 4, frogs were jumping across the
road in the rain.

My landlady was telling me this morning that she is still suffering
from her summer allergies, and with no prospect of an extended hard
freeze, she'll start suffering from spring allergies next.

I haven't had allergy problems like this in a looong time. As of
yesterday I hadn't breathed through my nose in two days and it was
running like a faucet. All other remedies having failed (saline wash,
decongestants) I resorted last night to (gently) breathing in fumes
from crushed red pepper flakes and finally the passageways opened
(don't try this at home : ). There are rough days ahead for allergy
sufferers--when the sun comes out, with these warm temps, the fungus
and mold are going to cover the earth. There are devil's snuff boxes
all over my side yard. I rarely see them anywhere away from the edge
of wooded areas. Also noteworthy, my daffodils came up the end of
November and are now about four inches high, daylilies are coming
through and there are buds on the dogwoods.
Oh, the times they are a-changin'

Tonight the spring peepers around the pond and the tree frogs are
merrily chirping as though 'twere Spring. Actually, it's warmer than
early Springtime usually is. I bet we'll get zapped come harsh March.
