Finally Going To Warm Up

First, we were teased by balmy, mild weather in February. Then came weeks and weeks of cold, dreary, wet weather. My yard is still sodden, but relief is on the way. We may even hit 70 F for the first time this year today. I asked my significant other, A, to be sure to get fresh limes today because we have a tradition of having margaritas on the first 70 degree day. I make mine simple and strong: 3 parts high quality tequila, one part Cointreau (though this year I am trying a different orange liqueur) and some fresh squeezed lime juice shaken and poured over ice, no salt.

And it is about time for some warmer weather. My seeds more than just weak sunlight peeking through rain clouds. I did find one more new sprout this morning: a small green tendril in a bin of scented nicotiana. With the forecast for 75 F tomorrow, maybe I'll get lots of sprouting this weekend.
