Very warm and very windy today with humidity down to about 25% on the North Carolina Piedmont. The soil is dry down to about 4 inches except in the heavy clay. Daff's and wood hyacinths in bloom everywhere, as are the ornamental cherries and Bradford pears.

Joybell, It makes me so sad to read the extent of the devastation caused by the fires in such a unique and vulnerable area.

I looked at pics of tiger snakes--sure is a bunch of different species of them. The brown and gold ones glowed.
