February is the month where we often get hints of spring. It was sunny today, but still chilly, so I wouldn't call it a hint of spring yet. Just nice to have clear weather instead of freezing fog to start the new month!
One thing I noticed when I first started out this morning, was how much moss is growing right on the road. Not just on the damp edges of the road, but all over the road!
It was frosty and upper 20s when I left the house, and warmed up (but not that much) over the 11.4 miles. Some pics going up on the ridge:
Still some mistiness near the top, but the north wind wasn't letting mist stay aroud long!
Going back down the ridge, the clouds were beautiful out there!
The frost was still in the shade, and the pear orchard is all pruned for next spring:
Headed east next, and there was the hill where I was speeding up, for it was so frosty that I could see tire marks on the road, and I wanted to get to the top and back into the sunshine before meeting any traffic! At the top of the hill, it was so bright and sunny!
Out and back on Dopp Road - it always is pretty out there, but a different kind of pretty, depending on the season and the weather...
Hazelnut trees polinate in winter...
Almost home! Vineyard across the road from us, our neighbor preventing soil erosion, and in the pasture, Snowflake. Snowflake was a bummer lamb that the girls raised.
