On The Brink

February closes

With unseasonable warmth

Dare peach buds open?

.

n.b. A discarded peach stone, or was it a nectarine, I cannot recall exactly, has grown into this. The warmest February on record, (states The Met Office), has led to very early sightings of blossoms, amongst other things, even swallows have been reported. Tipping point for Climate Change, or are we already over the edge?
