January in my backyard

It is 61 lovely, toasty, warm degrees outside, and it will be warmer still before the day is through! I was able to hang a few things outside to dry!

To be fair, Cyclamen and Pansies are winter bloomers here, in Zone 9.

These are technically Violas, but they are awfully similar to Pansies in temperment.

But still. . . don't you just love California?
