A Ray of Sunshine.

I smelled it first.



From across the Kudzu Jungle, the light breeze carried the sweet parfume my way.



I needed a break from the hacking and loping away I had to find what plant the fragrance was coming from.

" It is the second week in January," I thought.

"What in the world could be blooming?"



I wandered about looking for color.

There it was like a ray of sunshine.






The bees found the Leatherleaf Mohonia blooming, too.





Later that night, I opened Southern Living to find this... CLICK.


But.....
Since it is sub-artic-ish for way down South today. I guess they are frozen.
