I just took a stroll around the property. The fruit trees are starting to bud. [View all]

This is absolutely the earliest I've ever seen this happen. I'm not sure if the danger of frost damage happens just when the blossoms appear, or if it's also a threat to the buds.

The ornamental bushes are also starting to bud. One looks ready to leaf out.

Daffodils have been peeking up for a while, but that's not unusual. They are pretty weather hardy.

Honestly, this is the weirdest Winter I've ever seen, and I've seen a lot of them.
