The area where I walk my dog every day has two magnolias in full bloom already. I know they’re generally some of the first to bloom but damn, mid february?

Cherry trees also bring me so much happiness but I normally see them mid-march. There’s a bunch blooming already around short pump.

I already expect march through may to be miserable with frigid winds. It felt like that last year

Don't forget these gems:

  • the mosquitos come out for brief spurts mid-winter and earlier in the spring and stay out later in the early fall
  • the trees and plants start blooming mid-winter just before a freeze and stunt their growth
  • the grass starts to wake up before having to go dormant again
  • spring pollen season starts early, then stops, then starts again, then stops, then it's really pollen season.

Oh, and invasive fire ants continue their march north from Florida and Georgia and South Carolina and North Carolina.

Aaaaaaahh, transitionary climates are so chaotic!

KKC fried chicken livers are my favorite.

Edit: the Krispy Krunchy Chicken style of gas station food is something that takes me back to early childhood. That used to be the only type of gas station food around in Virginia and it's always been absolutely fire. I base my entire ranking system of potato wedges on this style of gas station food.
